Question about fan adding on Gigabyte H81 motherboard.

[JohnTheMoose]

Hello Tom's hardware forum users! Just a quick question about adding fans on this motherboard.
I understand there are only two fan slots. One being for the CPU fan and the other obviously the case fan. My question about the hardware is this: I want to have one more additional fan on it due to the Cooler Master Seidon 120V I will be using on the CPU fan for the pump, and the fan on the radiator is comes with I will be replacing with a Noctua NF-F12. The fan on the front of my case however is left out obviously which I am now posing my question. What adapter do I need to add that extra fan on the front? I also hear the powersupply plays apart in adapting on to the fan but I want the cable to come from the motherboard. EVGA 430W 80PLUS Certified ATX12V/EPS12V will be the power supply. Thank you to anyone who can help me with this quick question!

What you need is a molex to 3 pin adapter so you can power your fan directly from the psu.

But... What cpu will you be using?
All the intel chips that are reasonable for that motherboard will not be overclocked and will run just fine on the stock cooler.
Really no need to mess with liquid cooling.

I will be using an Intel Core i3-4150. Thank you for the swift reply, by the way.

i3 chips are excellent. The stock cooler will do fine.
If you care about noise under load, you need no more than a $30 cm hyper212 or similar cooler with a quieter 120mm fan.

I do plan on using it for gaming and using it in a MicroATX case so I figured the temperatures might be inadequate. Thank you again for the heads up!

May I suggest that you look at the SilverStone SST-PS07B

It is an absolute gem of a M-ATX case.
