how many 3pin/4pins u have?

[ricoex]

I just built my first desktop recently.My MOBO has one 4pin which i put as my front intake with a corsair SP fan.and i bought a cooler master 80mm 3pin for rear out.My MOBO has no other 4pin or 3pin slots availible.My question is how do people connect so many fans to their cases.I know i could use molex for extra fans if i wanted but are there MOBOS with many many 3 and 4 pin connectors? or are most people using molex.I also noticed most high grade fans all use 4pin or 3pin atleast.So how are people accomplishing this feat.

the one 4 pin is for your CPU, not intake.

Most high end mobos have 2 cpu and 2 chassis at minimum.

You can use a Y splitter to double that number without issue.

Or a fan hub controller.

I'm assuming you have an mITX, or perhaps mATX motherboard? If so, you'll have a CPU_Fan and 1x Chassis_Fan - Y splitters are the way to go there.

For people with numerous fans, they're likely running larger boards (ATX, EATX & even most mATX boards) which have at least 2x chassis fan headers, and usually 2 CPU headers.

I have the CPU fan header which my cpu fan is hooked to,then i have a 4pin chasis fan,then a 3pin with no label
