controlling case fan LEDs

[HiDood]

Exactly what the title says. My case is the cm storm scout 2 which comes with a really handy feature of turning the LEDs off. But how do I connect an extra fan to it? I assume plugging to the motherboard chassis fan does the job. But my mobo only have one slot and guess what. It's used. A friend is coming and I don't have time to wait for shipping so I am just going to buy things off the local store. Any help?

The motherboard is an asrock h97m anniversary. Stupid technician won't ever Get me an h97m pro4.

What motherboard do you have? unless its from 20 years ago it should have more then just 1 fan header on it. You can also use a fan to molex adapter and just run the fan off the PSU.


Update after looking at you MB, so you have 2 fan headers, one for cpu and 1 for a case fan. So two things you can do, buy a Y splitter and connect 2 (no more then that) to the Case fan header on the MB or get some fan to molex adapters and power the fans off the PSU.

But I heard that y splitters are not safe for motherboards. Is it true? And will the led switch work?
