[SOLVED] How to improve fan supply.

[Csib1337]

Hey.

I have a Cooler Master CM 590 III Case and an Asus b150 pro gaming mobo.
So the case already got a cooler in the nose. On the mobo there's 1cpu supply pin,1 for the pump. 2 for the other fans. As I said one is already in use because of the front fans. Is there a way to get supply like expanding the pins with a socket or something. Because I got 1 supply pin left, Im going to put a fan to the top to suck out the hot air. But I was planning to put one plus fan to the front and one to the bottom. If its not possible maybe im going to put a very big to the top to help the cooling.

Cheers

Fan splitters are common. Can take one header and turn it into two reliably. More would be too much load, so I would avoid the ones that offer 4 connections. Might work with lower power fans, but not worth the risk of damaging the motherboard.

You can also get standalone fan controllers that will be powered directly from the power supply:

Are the standalone supplied fans controlled by the mobo?

That depends on the model, some will have a PWM input for just that. Others are standalone, they operate independently and often have their own discrete controls.
