2-3 Fans on one connector?

[bigbiznes]

Hey, I've got the Asus prime b360 plus motherboard, which happens to have 2 chassis fan connectors.

But the pc box i like (NZXT H440) has 4-5 Fans.

So my question is, if i connect 2-3 120mm fans to each connector, can i effectively run (and modulate them)

My PSU is 650W Gold if that matters

Thanks

2 fans is a common setup, 3 would depend on the amperage of each fan and what the header is rated at.
I would personally recommend checking out a fan controller if you need one.

Yes, you can. Note that all of the fans on the fan header will run at the same RPM. If you were to run more fans than that you shoul invest in a powered fan controller or hub.

Possibly but if not this little guy will do the trick. https://www.amazon.com/SilverStone-System-Cables-Black-CPF04/dp/B00VNW556I

Also, do i have to wire the intake/exhaust on two different slots?

I do agree with the above comment about being cautious of the amperage. You certainly can damage the motherboard if you install multiple fans that exceed the amps supported by the fan header.

Not necessarily no, but there are limitations involved. Your intake and exhaust fans are not going to be near each other. Plus you may want to run them at different fan RPMs.
