I could do with some help about how to attach some fans to a Gigabyte B360M H Micro ATX Motherboard please.
I've bought a cheap pc off eBay that I'm intending to transplant to a bigger better case than the one its in currently. The guy who built this pc said it was a project he never fully completed and so it has no fans whatsoever inside. It also has a i5 8500 cpu with a 750w power supply. The case I'm putting it into is a Corsair 110Q Midi-Tower. It's quite a large case for this size of motherboard, but least it gives me expansion options for the future if upgrade to a larger motherboard. I'll also be fitting a GTX 1060 gpu into it.
The case came with a Corsair 120mm rear 3pin fan and I'll ether put 2x 140mm PWM fans or 3x 120mm PWM fans in the front, I haven't decided yet and I'm not sure which is the best option to be honest. This is the first PC I've put together (although its mostly pretty much built apart from no fans) so I have no idea what is best way to attach the fans. The motherboard has a 4pin 'CPU-Fan' Header which is obviously occupied by the CPU cooler and it also has one other spare 4pin fan header called 'SYS_Fan'.
From what research I've done I believe its best to have PWM fans in the machine so the pc can alter the speed accordingly to the systems temperature. So what is the best way for me to attach either two or three 4pin PWM front fans plus a 3pin rear fan to the motherboard when I only have one 4pin 'SYS_Fan' header left?
I've looked on amazon and seen different fan splitter cables and hubs, but I'm not sure which ones to get and what to plug in where. Also can you mix 3pin and 4pin pwn fans and is there a cost if you do? Should I replace the rear fan with a PWM fan so they are all the same?
Essentially, I just need advise and a guide of what fans/fan splitters/hubs to buy and which headers to attach them to please.
Many Thanks!
