MSI Z370 Tomahawk

[bonecrusher2022]

I'm just wondering how many fan headers the board has because I'm thinking of having an h500p case with 3 built-in fan's and I will be buying 3 extra RGB fans the case I'm pretty sure comes with a 3 to 1 fan splitter which I'm thinking of using for the 3 top fans. So I'm wondering if I should buy a fan splitter for the front 2 fans and want to know if there are enough fan headers on the motherboard

It has 4x 4-pin fan headers plus the CPU fan header.

Personally, I wouldn't use more than 2 fans per fan header. You could buy a 2-way splitter for each fan header, or you can buy a fan hub.

Okay, looking closer it has 4x 4-pin system fan headers, 1x 4-pin water pump fan header, and 1x 4-pin CPU fan header. You should be able to use the pump fan header with a system fan.

My experience is not all fan cables will reach the bottom fan headers. So, you might need an extension cable for that.

If i were to use 6 fans 3 on the top 2 on the front and 1 on the back how should i do that

Just buy one 2-way fan splitter and use it on one of the fan headers.

or buy a couple of them just for good measure. There's a deal on the 2-pack.
