Hello,

I buildint my rig and i wanna buy NZXT Phantom 410,with all those fans i am a bit worried about troubles with connecting then and making its work properly,

I have ASRock Z97 Extreme4 motherboard.....and i think case fanks connecting into motherboard....so its this mobo capable of all those fans from case??

Or do you recommend any other good mobo for this case??

I hear somethin about molex in that case.....si can i in worst case scenario just connect fans from case via molex directly into PSU??

Your mobo - http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z97%20Extreme4/?cat=Specifications - http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z97%20Extreme4/?cat=Specifications has -
2 x CPU Fan Connectors (1 x 4-pin, 1 x 3-pin)
and 3 x Chassis Fan Connectors (1 x 4-pin, 2 x 3-pin)

Each fan connector header can have a splitter on it eg http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=fan+splitter&N=-1&isNodeId=1 - to be able to connect two fans to each header.

The NZXT 410 - http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/95-phantom-410-mid-tower-case.html has -
FRONT, 2x120mm or 1 X 140mm (1x120mm included)
REAR, 1 X 120mm (included)
SIDE, 1 x 120mm or 1 x 140mm
TOP, 2 X 120/140mm (1 x 140mm included)

only 2 fans included with it...

only 2 fans included with it. So you can add up to 4 more case fans using splitters.
