2 x case fans only 1 Mobo fan header

edgedemon · 24 Aug 2008 at 22:26

I have a Silverstone GD02B HTPC case which comes with 2 internal case fans.
My MB (Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H) matx only has fan headers for the CPU fan and 1 system fan, so I am one fan connector short. I know there are loads of you out there who run multiple fans for cooling, how do you power them? Are there adapters I can get to allow me to do this or am I stuck with only running one case fan?

Cheers for the help

Seems a shame to just buy such a small item, off to browse site now to see if there is anything else I might want.. :eek:

My asus mATX board came with one of those splitters, had no idea what it was then saw what connection type it was now. So use it to power two chassis fans off one mobo socket

A LOT of fans come with 3 pin to 4 pin molex adapters, you might have one and not know it.
