I was shopping for a motherboard and I noticed that some of the high end gaming motherboard hardly have any Case fan connectors e.g this guy. It has 3, I know that is still quite a lot but doesn't some mid range cases can have a maximum of 5 case fans installed at once (2 @ front, 2 @ top and 1 @ back)? Then I went to the micro ATX board and found that some had none!! Is there something I don't know?
