[SOLVED] How many case fans can my motherboard handle?

[floorcleaner]

Hello, the new pc case I bought came with two fans and a button to change the light colours. The fans are XGP Vento 120 and XGP Vento 120 argb, and I'd like to add two more XGP Vento 120 argb fans, but my motherboard has only one system fan connector, and the two fans are already connected in series.

What I want to know is whether it is safe to connect two more fans in series, or i need to buy something like this? https://www.amazon.in/Verilux®-PWM-...=1671533720&sprefix=pc+fan+hub,aps,216&sr=8-4

I suggest that going back a couple of steps:

What problems, if any, indicate the need for more fans?

Are there some high component temperatures?

What make and model case? How are the current fans and their respective airflows arranged?

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

Include PSU: make, model, wattage, age, condtion.

Fans for cooling is one thing. Having fans for color/cosmetics is another.

Too many fans or incorrectly positioned fans can be counter productive. Could create problems or make existing problems worse.

The purposes of fans are for cooling. I am getting asus tuf 3070ti from a friend after Christmas, and that's the main reason I bought this new case because the old one didn't have good airflow.
The case includes one intake and one exhaust fan.
Both fans are connected using this splitter came with the rear fan

Wondering about the current airflow directions for each of the fans.

This case?

Take a close look at supported fan configurations.

Yes, this one. The front fan pulls air in, and the rear fan pushes it out.
I was thinking about a three front and one rear fan configuration. It's good if you think one front and one rear is enough; it also saves me some money.

🤔
I think I need fans on top too.

I do not know.

I see three fans (in your computer case) but I am not sure about the respective air flow directions for each fan.

Overall, the case documentation has some information on Page 10 of the case link in Post #5.

If the fans are conflicting with each other and airflows in general then temperatures will likely run too hot.

You will not save any money if the cooling system is not sufficient to maintain the required temperature ranges.

Airflow is linear - the next consideration is volume (CFM) etc.

If the fan or fan arrangements are pushing in more air that can be exhausted then that can cause problems.
