Question How and where to connect case-fans?

[Elliah246]

How do you do it?
Would you recommend connecting case fans to the headers mounted directly on the case, or connect the fans to the motherboard?
What even is the difference?

Headers on motherboard are regulated by motherboard.
Headers on case might not be regulated at all. This depends on pc case and fan hub used.

An important factor is ramp-up time. As soon as your cpu temp begins to increase the supporting case fans speed should increase to provide airflow for the cpu cooler or AIO radiator cooler fans. This is best accomplished by connecting the fans to the motherboard and setting the bios to control them. If the wattage power required by the fans is low enough you can split each motherboard connector 2 or 3 or 4 ways to support the number of fans in the case.
