This is probably really obvious but I just don't know and thank you for any help

 

 

The PC will use 2 ARGB fans and 2 non RGB fans, the 2 ARGB fans will be at the front and 1 of the non RGB fans will be at the top closest to the back and the other non RGB at the back, all 120mm, plus two non RGB on the CPU cooler so I will need 3/4 headers? but I don't really know how fine it is or how ok it is too have multiple fans off of one header

 

 

What headers should I use for what fans?

 

I'm using the MSI MAG 100R case

 

Attached is a screenshot of the motherboard connectivity

 

any questions are welcome!

The number of fans that a header supports will depend on the fan. In general, most headers are ok with 3 or so "common" consumer fans. They tend to be around 0.3A per fan. But always check the fan first.

 

Also, if is doubt, just use a fan hub that has supplimental SATA power.

You've got 5 fan headers on your mobo. You're already using 1 (or 2) for the cpu cooler.

You're left with 4 (or 3).

You need up to 4 headers, depending upon if you can daisy chain some of the fans.

For example the Arctic PST fans can be daisy chained easily.

Any of your headers will do. Just check in the Bios if you can adjust settings (pump/fan DC/PWM fancurve)

And FanControl is a great app to rule them all.

I'm willing to swim against the current.

If you can afford it and it's available in your region, just use a SATA-powered fan hub.

Arctic has a decent one for about 10 bucks.

I've gotten to know some stuff, but am far from omniscient, so don't take my advice as gospel and wait for other opinions - I just like throwing in my two cents when I can.
