What cable do I need?

[Steve Bloomfield]

This will sound like a dumb question, but I wanna make sure i get the right part. Sorry if this is in the wrong forum too...

Basically im hoping to build my very first pc in the next month or so, but i know im gonna hit a little issue when i build it and cant figure out exactly what i need, well i know, but have no idea what its called, so i'm hoping someone can link me to what i need.

Here's the issue... I've decided on the Corsair 540 case, which comes with 3 fans. 2x140's in the front, and 1 in the rear. I intend to remove the front 2x140's and put 3x120's in as the case allows which will give me more intake. The 2x140's i intend to use with the Kraken x61 and its fans to create a push pull over the radiator. My motherboard, the ASUS X99-Pro has six fan headers, but obviously i have 8 fans.

What cable do i need to connect the other 2 fans? or do i even need one? please link me to what i need if so, I can work from that

Also, the fans on the radiator need to work together, so how do i go about that? is this just a case of setting them up in the bios so they work in conjunction with each other?

You can connect fans directly to the PSU via a four pin molex connection. They will run at full speed but that shouldn't be a problem.

The cooler will have connectors for the radiator fans to attach to.

I think i understand, i will find a good youtube video on it i did find the splitter cables on ebay, in the end, but i will look into what is the better solution Thanks

You just need a simple fan splitter Y-cable to connect two fans to a single motherboard fan header. Either a 3-pin fan splitter for connecting two 3-pin fans:

Or a 4-pin PWM splitter if you are connecting PWM fans:

If you don't know, then get the 4-pins. They can be used for either 4-pin or 3-pin fans.
