More fans?

Go to solution Solved by yippy3000,

You have a few options:

 

1) splitter like Minzo posted but don't chain them as most likely the motherboard can't support the power of more than 1-2 fans per header.

2) Buy a fan controller, these usually require an external 3.5" or 5.25" drive bay and let you manually control the speed of several fans using dials.  They are powered directly from your power supply.

3) Get a molex -> 3pin fan adapter.  This also lets you power fans directly from your power supply, however, with no controller, the fans will run at full speed at all times.
