Need an extra fan header

[ToddH]

I just installed a Corsair H60 water cooler and it took up the only two fan headers I have on the motherboard. Now I do not have a case fan running just the water cooler. Does anyone know how I can add another fan that can be controlled? I could plug one in to the PSU but it would be at 100% all the time and loud.

Hello ToddH, What type of case do you have and power supply?

Hello, what board do you have?

If you only have two fan headers (and if you have a little extra money), you can put a fan controller with display in one of your open 5.25" drives on the front of the case. NZXT has a pretty cool one, that's only about 27 bucks.

If you don't want to mess with a fan controller, you can also just get yourself a cheap little adapter for about $5.00, also a decent way to go.

Let me know if any of these ideas help!

My motherboard is GA-F2A85XM-HD3 with AMDA10 5800K. That fan controller looks like exactly what i need. The led colors are ugly but it will do. Thank you for the speedy response.

Here is another fan controller that I have worked with, and is also very nice:

AeroCool F6XT Controller, Panel

It doesn't have any of the LED lights, and would work nicely with your case. Plus it's only $25 bucks.

Have a great day!
