How to get more chassis fan slots on motherboard?

[02JamieUK]

Hi,

My computer has 2 fans one at the front and one at the back however this is simply not enough to keep my cpu cool. Despite my CPU fan I brought (specs at bottom of page) my CPU still gets incredibly hot to like 70 - 80 degrees when playing the likes of battlefield, dayz and H1Z1. I have two more chassis fan slots on my cpu case both next to each other at the top so I was going to buy 2 more fans to slot in there.

Is there any BETTER alternative to using this http://www.ebuyer.com/515105-6in-tx3-fan-power-splitter-cable-tx3splitter to add more chassis fan slots on to the motherboard? I already have one but I'll need to purchase two more for two more fans and It's going to generate a long link of stupid wires. Is there any better alternative as my motherboard only has 1 chassis fan slot >.< even one of them with more heads or something... I literally can't find anything.

By fan slots are you referring to the headers on the motherboard or are you talking about something else? If you mean the headers on the motherboard, then there are hubs that you can purchase that will plug into the header on the motherboard and will supply you with additional headers on the hub itself.

I'm referring to the Chassis fan socket bit on a motherboard that you plug the chassis fan into. I'm currently using this http://www.ebuyer.com/515105-6in-tx3-fan-power-splitter-cable-tx3splitter but was wondering if there was anything more efficient instead of plugging lots of these on each other as I only have one chassis fan slot on my motherboard.

Well, unfortunately if you PWM capabilities and you wanted to utilize them then there isn't really a better way unless you have room for a bigger motherboard that has more headers. However, if you don't care or don't have the PWM funtion then you can get after market fans that have 4 pin molex connectors that hook directly up to your power supply. This would be the easiest and most efficient way to do this.

That motherboard will be able to handle that CPU, ignore the troll.
