I have an Asus h110 m-d motherboard and i will buy the Corsair Carbide 270r case and 5 or 6 Cooler Master Silencio 12fk case fans. I am wondering if i can plug them all in without buying splitters. I used to have 4 fans, 3 on the controllers and 1 on the cha_fan but i don't know if this case has fan controllers and i don't know if i could plug 5 fans in my mobo

5 fans to the mobo is not possible. Your mobo only has the following:

1 x CPU Fan connector(s) (1 x 4 -pin)
1 x Chassis Fan connector(s) (1 x 4 -pin)

The case does not appear to ship with a fan controller (which you should use instead of a bunch of splitters).

You could also connect fans via Molex connections (connected directly to the PSU) as previously suggested.

But the fans have 3 pin connectors how do you connect them to molex?
 


when you buy the fans most of them comes with the connector

The easiest way to split them is to buy a splittter right?
Could anyone please find a splitter like this one i cannot find it anywhere except the Y splitters would be nice to have a molex to a 4x 3 pin connector
