I want to get a water cooler for my case but my motherboard only holds 4 fans, does the water coolers fan take up one of this spots on the mother board or can I buy 4 fans and have that one as a 5th. because for what I want to do I need 4 fans and a water cooler. also do the fans the case come with take up the fan spots on my motherboard.

why not just use fan splitters or plug the fan into molex?

do fan splitters work for led fans as well. and does the water coolers fan use a spot on the motherboard.

yes led fans work too

 

well that depends what watercooler, how many fans it uses, if the pump uses a fan plug, and if you are going to be replace a fan slot with it.
