Newb Case Fan Question.

[BhangMe]

I don't know how to explain this question very good, but I want to add 3 80mm fans to a case and I don't know if I will have enough 3 pin connecting slots. Is there an average number of 3 pin slots on a motherboard or something? i dont know lol

No each mobo is different, but you can always get a 3pin to 4 pin converter it costs about $2.00us..for 1 wire...

Heres the motherboard. I don't think it tells you how many there are, and on the picture I can't really tell whats what.

Usually there is the CPU fan header, chipset fan header and a seperate fan header. I would just use the 4-pin molex connectors and plug them in along with the normal PSU molex connectors.

4pins come out of the psu, read what alvino just said, and your good to go..You buy the same amount of converters as fans, then using on of the 4pin molexs coming from the psu, just build off there, and go from fan to fan..
