Motherboard Fan Controller

[iglisca]

Hi,

I want to build a PC and for the motherboard I decided I would get the MSI H110M pro D - which has only one Fan Header - that seemed alright when I decided which MOBO to get.

However, after some readings about this I realised I would like to have all my fans PWM controller and not just connect them to the PSU to run at max speed.

I already have a i5-6402p CPU and a Corsair CX550M and for GPU I intend to go with a Asus GTX 950 or a Sapphire RX 460.

I would like to get a NZXT S340 or a phanteks p400 case - both which have 2 fans included.

Would those 2x120mm fans be enough for my rig? I thought I could get a splitter and connect them both to the motherboard? Would that be safe/reliable? Should I try to spend more money for a 2 Fan Header MOBO or maybe get a PWM fan controller such as (Phanteks PH-PWHUB_01)?

I'm a bit confused about this and I just want to make sure I'll have enough airflow and control.

Thanks!

something like this perhaps? not an endorsement example only:

the molex will power the fans but the motherboard will control the speeds.

Is this connected to the PSU for power and to the 1x Fan Controller on the motherboard for monitoring and the 3 splitters would connect 3 fans? Sorry if it's a newbie question, but I think that would work for what I need.

that is exactly what is it, power from the PSU, speed control and monitoring from motherboard.
the issue is that all three will be controlled as if it were one unit so you cannot turn up fan 2 to full, its all 3 or none.

That should be fine, I don't expect the temperature to be too high anyways, I'll try to use the 2 fans included first and then if need to buy another 1 or two. Thank you
