AIO Coolers, how to connect?

[Yttrizy]

Getting last of my parts delivered tommorow and i wanted to ask.

I have kraken x41 and asus z170-a board. I have 5 fans (i can do 4), two intake, two for push-pull configuration, and one exhaust fan. I was wondering all night how should i connect them. I guess, pump goes into the cpu_fan slot on the motherboard yes? and radiator fan goes into sys_fan1, sys_fan2, but where others go?

Thanks for your replies

You need to get a fan splitter cable or a fan hub. You can get a 3-1 cable for like $5. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812162059&cm_re=silverstone_fan_splitter-_-12-162-059-_-Product

If any of the fans came with a molex to fan-header adapter, then you can plug some of them directly into the PSU......but other than that, no. You can't just not plug a fan into a non-existent port and have it work.

The fan power cable needs to be plugged into something. You can either plug them into a fan header on the motherboard, a fan header on a fan hub, or a fan header on an extension/splitter cable (like I linked above). OR you can plug the fan header into a fan-header to molex adapter, and then plug that directly into the molex power cable on the PSU.

That's a fan hub. So yes, that would work.
