Hey!



I am about to finish the list for my first high(er) end build.

Here's the list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2dsQTJ



After seeing this black beauty https://pcpartpicker.com/b/LQvWGX, I wanted to have the same fan set up, but I have no clue how many fans can actually be added to the Asus ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING ATX AM4 Motherboard. I assume I will need a fan hub or several y splitter? What would be the best solution here and how would that setup be connected?



2x NF-A14 + 1x NF-F12 front, 2x NF-A14 top, 3x NF-F12 right side bracket and 1x NF-F12 rear

front and side fans are intake, rear is exhaust

top is for the Kraken Z73
 
Solution
if your case doesn't come with a built in fan hub you will need to purchase one.

the motherboard should have at least 4 headers besides the CPU_FAN & CPU_OPT.
maybe 3 if it's a lower tier board.

the average nice case has a hub with 6 or more available slots and will be using a single motherboard header for PWM control.
if the board has 3 others, that's the 6 you need.
