9 fans to Connect??

[Roger Narq]

Hi, I'm planning a future upgrade and I want 9 fans in there.. How would I connect all them up? I have 2 3pin fan connectors on my mobo and this. I already have 4 fans of these and I'll be adding 6 more of the same kind in the new case that I'll be getting. Hope I gave you enough info and if not just please ask for more info.

Thanks!

fan controller if you want them to be controlable, molex to 3pin fan if you want them at full speed.

fan controllers can take up a drive bay and be all touchscreen or a simple knob inside the case, depends on how much you want to spend.

and why 9? more fans doesn't always equal more cooling. balancing intake/exhaust is more important than just throwing fans in every available spot on your casae.

Well true.. what kind of setups can I have with the fans then? Here's the case that I'm going to be getting. I don't know much about cooling and the way that the airflow should be. All I know is intake and exhaust..

this case alreary have 4 fans in and the max it could support is 7 fans also the top and front one are with a fan controller directly on the board look at the video on newegg .

I'm going to take out all the drive bays and mount my HDD and SSD on the back side of the case. Any particular way I should mount the fans?

they should blow air from the front to the back and top that is the best air flow you could have and when you set the fan made shure that air is the same volume in and out .

But can't I do front intake ----> back exhaust then bottom intake ---> top exhaust or would that be bad because I would like more cooling for my GPU.

this is the way to do it leave the 2 front one in and had a lower one if you want and do the same with the top one this will give you plenty of fresh air for the gpu even if you put the ssd and hdd in the front where they should go .
