Hi guys , 

I have recently bought a case which has 5 fan spaces and 2 already built into the chassis . I currently have 2 fans in my old case with my motherboard Installed . It seems that my motherboard only has 2 fan headers . Is there anyway I can use 4 fans without having 4 fan slots on the MB? Thanks .

Yes, you can just buy a cheap fan splitter cable from Amazon or Newegg so 1 port on the motherboard can power 2 fans.

Fan splitter or fan hub, but the splitter is more convenient

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B
