So I want more fans in my PC how many can I attach to Asus prime Z690-P header? Yes I am kind of a noob to this. I have found one connector and it had 3 splits on it but I want more fans. What do I need to do to get the job done without burning something up. It came three fans on Rad, one for case , not sure why case does not have more all 120mm fans. I only see one spot for cpu fan and they used a splitter off of it for one case and three Rad fans. I see one spot open for CHA fan. Also not sure if this correct but no fan pulling into case only three fans at rad at top pushing out and one in the middle of case pulling away from CPU open bottom with no fans. I think this odd. the case is a Bitspower Touchaqua Titan One 1.2 Lian Li O11D Computer Case dual chamber. Any help would be appreciated very much.

Each fan header on the MB can supply about 1A of12v power and that's enough for 3 x120/140mm fans using just a splitter or un-powered hub. For more than that you would have to use a powered fan hub so in theory you could put any number of fans. Each fan has specifications so you can calculate power requirement yourself.
It's important for all fans on one MB header to be same type (3pin or 4pin PVM), same speed and preferably identical as they would turn at same speed.

Thanks I will need to buy more fans LOL , I have 2 different brands on one header.
 
Can you explain why you think you need more fans?
What is the make/model of your case, and what are the parts you will put inside?

More fans than you need adds to noise and expense. They do not necessarily lead to better cooling of your parts.

Bitspower Touchaqua Titan One 1.2 Lian Li O11D Computer Case dual chamber. Not worried about noise When playing certain games it gets hot and when I ordered it from CyberPWR its was to have more fans it did not have them, no fault of mine I did not want to send back and wait another 4 weeks to get it back.

If I put a powered fan hub in do I still need to have the same kind fans? What trying to say if the Rad has the three same fans could I use three different fans for the case?
