How many fans does my motherboard support

[Guest]

I have AsRock H87M Pro 4
I an thinking of putting 5 fans total in my case so I was wondering if it supports that many fans

2 x CPU Fan connectors (1 x 4-pin, 1 x 3-pin)
- 2 x Chassis Fan connectors (1 x 4-pin, 1 x 3-pin)

1 x Power Fan connector (3-pin)

This mobo has:

- 2 x CPU Fan connectors (1 x 4-pin, 1 x 3-pin)
- 2 x Chassis Fan connectors (1 x 4-pin, 1 x 3-pin)
- 1 x Power Fan connector (3-pin)

You really don't need to worry about number of fans because you can molex them and use single fan header for that.

ya this true. molex is always good :0

What case do you have, and why do you think you need 5 fans?

Also Can I use 1 CPU Fan connectors for a case fan? I can't really buy a Molex ATM

 

[iceclock]

no.

molex is like 4$ lol

Molex is quite cheap if you can check their prices.

Yes, you can connect one fan on one of two cpu fan connectors but be warned that by doing so you won't be able to control that fan's speed because it either speed up or speed down based on CPU's temp not on your PC Case temps.
