I need to connect 3 excluding the exhaust fan

So.. 4 case fans + the CPU cooler?

If so, buy two of those cables and now you can connect everything.

So I recently bought a gigabyte a320ma m.2 motherboard and totally forgot to check how many fans I can plug in. So far I've only counted the cpu fan plug and the exhaust one as well. Does anyone know how many fans I can plug in? Or is this it... just 1 if we're only counting case fans.

That motherboard has one CPU and two case fan headers. Fan headers could also be split with the use of a simple cable.

So a splitter? :o

If you need to add any more than 2 fan, a cable like this will be useful:

It allows you to connect more fans.
