If they are low rpm / silent fans you can always connect them to the molex connectors of your psu.

Check on the manufacturer site, webshop where you are buying the fan or on the packaging.

2000 rpm would not use molex at that speed.

I think 3 pin splitter or hub is probably your best option or a fan controller if you like to manual adjust your fans.

Obk so i use this fan with my mobo..
Hope so my mobo will nt gt extra pressure (load) by attaching multiple fan...
So now I m going to use 2 sicklflow(120mm) as an exhaust fan on top and one arctic 140mm pwm fan on side as an intake.. is this right airflow ??

why not intake fan at the front of the case?

More intake fans > More exhaust fans

Also better against dust

I would do 2x intake 120mm front, 1 intake side fan and 1 back exhaust 140mm and 1 top exhaust 140mm.

Really you want more air pushing into your case than air thats blowing out.

Yes but that depends on how many fans he has

Well can you tell us how many fans you have and 140mm or 120mm doesn't matter that much. 140mm is a bit more silent thats all.
