what if my motherboard only has one fan connector but I want to install 5 fans for my cooler master case?..is it ok to connect to my 600w power supply? HELP PLS!

[RickArter]

@hh100488 Yes fans do not draw much power and as long as you get some 3-pin to molex adapters will work fine.

how do I know if my power supply has enough power to power the thing?

[RickArter]

@Knightshield Case fans draw very little power. Adding one or a few wont overdue your PSU things like video cards and higher wattage CPUs will.

@bakergreen5 -.-

dO ALL FANS FIT IN THE PC CASE?

[Celestial2Be]

@trikstadude3 Not if you get quality fans, I am using 7 noctua fans in my 800D and they are dead silent running it from my PSU with 12v connectors. Cheaper fans will sound like hell yes

[trikstadude3]

Note to people running fans straight off the PSU. Invest in a PCI fan controller. If you're running them off straight 12v they'll be spinning at 100% all the time. This isn't a bad thing.. but it's noisy.

@97887835 Think about it ... it'll come to you ... THERE YOU GO.

Thanks for answering my question. I'm off to look for nuts and bolts, rather than tear up the plastic fan with those little screws.

[rolanurokima]

The screws that came with my fan don't fit in either the fan or the case, lol. So I was wondering if I was missing something so I came here X_x

[BackSideOFFThemoon]

problems whit dust on motherboard like this..eather way..and yeah.. i do clean behind it..: D

You sound so depressed....chear up...hehe

[FatalDefiance22]

to everyone concerned about power supplies: as the guy said fans draw very little power so you wont need to worry about it. if you're genuinely worried check out the ASUS Power Supply Calculator (google it)

in terms of connecting it, it does not necessarily have to connect to the motherboard. so dont worry if you've ran out of pin sockets to plug them into. you can just a buy an adapter and connect it directly to the power supply instead

I have 3 ping and my Side Fan is 4pin . I want to control these fans in bios since my Fan controller speed sucks . Low its fine and high its fine but anywhere from 1% to 99% it makes this whining sound . So now I need to connect these fans into the motherboard problem is they all just blast at high ! So my PC turns into a rocket ship - I know my fans have speed control but for some reason they all run full speed . Any tips . ?

uh how do i know which way is sucking and which way is blowing. Please help me
