Gigabyte GA-H61M-S1 and fans

[Nacho_3]

Hello, i have a GA-H61M-S1 and i want to put 3 coolers to the case. Can i connect the 3 coolers to the motherboards? Because i see only CPU_fan(that is in use already) and sys_fan. Thanks you

3 fans, including the CPU fan?

You only have the CPU_fan & Sys_fan so, in order to add additional case fans, you'll need to either buy a splitter (either one to two, or one to three)

You'll need to do some research between the Amps of your fan header & the total Amps of any two/three fans to ensure you're not going to overload the header though.

Or you can use molex adapters & connect case fans directly to the PSU (although they will run 100% constantly).

Look at the arctic cooling tc range , they have a built in thermostat which regulates rpm on case temperature even if connected via molex.
Good fans too.

Thanks you to the two. This is the specification of the cooler
Dimensiones 80X80X25mm
Peso neto 118.5g
Rodamiento Hydro Bearing
Voltaje 12VDC
Voltaje operativo 10.8～13.2VDC
Voltaje inicial 7VDC
Corriente 0.2±10%A
Línea de entrada 2.4W
Rotación(RPM) 1300±10%RPM
Max. flujo de aire 53.65CFM
Nivel de ruido 26.6dB(A)

Theyre max 0.2 amp then , yes you can safely run 3 of them off a splitter then IMO.the standard for fan headers has been 1a for a good few years.

 

[Barty1884]

^^ He's got it.

Can't find any documentation clarifying the amps for the header - but the norm (and generally minimum) is 1A.

Max 0.2A each, so running a three-way splitter won't present a problem.

Even a four-way splitter (if they exist) shouldn't provide a problem.

In theory you could run 5 of those from the header (if you could find a splitter) but that would put you right at the 1A of the header, so I wouldn't recommend going that far.

Thanks you very much to all

What's your case model ??
The only thing I personally would have a problem with is those fans look to be 3 pin & your board doesn't do voltage control so they'll run 1300rpm all the time.
They're rated quite low decibel but in my experience 3x80mm fans will be dammmmn noisy!
I'd look at a 7v molex personally to drag em down to 700rpm or so.

It's a normal case, like the one of office. The coolers are the: Deep Cool Wind Blade Blue Led 80mm

 

[madmatt30]

The wind blade has both a 3 pin & a molex connector fitted so as long as you have a couple of spare molex cables on your PSU (you will have as nothing uses them nowadays) you don't need any splitters or extra hardware.

They will run full speed , you can mod to 7 volt easily by swapping one of the molex pins around if you like.

I will say if you're thinking of putting one on the side of your case then don't - a side fan is noisy & drags dust in excessively

Stick to front intakes & rear exhausts only.

Wow thanks, i will do that and then i will buy a fan regulator. Thanks you very much!

I don't understand. Why i can't use this? Thanks you

you can use that cable but you dont need to.
The fans your using are 3 pin, your board & that cable can only vary speds on fans that have 4 pins (the 4th pin is the pwm which controls fan speeds)

the cable will work with those fans but they will still run full speed - which means you may aswell just save the money & plug one into the sys fan header & the other into the psu.

Do you already have the fans ?? if not what website are you buying from - I will have a look for some decent priced 4 pin fans for you.

 

[Nacho_3]

No i haven't buy it. The website of the fan is thotcomputacion.com.uy
The are more coolers but my case is for fan 80mm.
In mercadolibre.com.uy the are many, but i have only aprox 12-15 dollars to spend. And it's in spanish the pages.

12-15 dollars with the 3 coolers xd
