[SOLVED] No front fans issue help!

[danielm175]

Hi I have just received my new cooler master lite 3.1. Which has no fans in the front.

The issue is I need to add a fan in the front of the case. But I am not sure if my motherboard B450M PRO M2 MAX supports pins for the front case fans? Like where would I plug in the additional fans ?

I suggest you get a splitter that it's directly connected to the motherboard fan header.
That way you could control the fan speed automatically or manually.
A 120mm fan uses around 0.25A, so could could safely have 3 fans connected to the motherboard fan header.

Which ideal splitter for the motherboard would you get? As it only has one fan controll connection on the motherboard.

Hi,

I have just built this brand-new PC (specs below + Image links to build).

But I am arguing with a person weather or not I should install 2 front panel case fans for intake cooling. The other person (who is not computer experience) says you don't need 2 front fans on the case.

While I am thinking about when the client plays lots of high graphic games in the future with this build. The PC will be getting very hot inside, so my question to you is do I need front case fans for this build?

Should I order these fans for the front case if needed 2 of them?: https://www.amazon.co.uk/ARCTIC-F12...ascsubtag=tomshardware-8350890168698881000-21

Splitter for the power-supply Molex cable to connect the fans: https://www.amazon.co.uk/KabelDirek...ascsubtag=tomshardware-3417987975101894700-21

Link 3: https://prnt.sc/rg7jc5 (As you can see the PSU fan is facing down)

Thank you for your time.

On my first post (2nd post of the thread) I gave you two fan splitters. You connect one end of the splitter to the motherboard and the other to the fans. That's all you need.
Here is another 4-pin (PWN) fan splitter.

A couple of case fans working in parallel could yield better performance (move more air) that just one fan and consequently could also work a lower speed (lower sound).

You could get one fan and if the temps are higher than adequate, you could just get another fan and the splitter.
Get 4-pin (PWM) fans, like the ARCTIC F12 PWM
