So, I'm building a PC this summer and I don't know how many fans I should get. My case holds 5, and I don't think that older motherboard has 5 headers. Does anybody know how many external fans I can use? (External, not including heatsink)
That depends on your cooling needs. You can put in 5 fans. You would hook up to all fan headers on your motherboard. Then plug the remaining fans into the molex connector on your Power supply. Most builds can get away with 3 really good CFM rated fans.
