hi i noticed my pc gets quite warm currently i have 2 intake fans and 1 exhaust, my case fans at the moment cant be controlled and their max speed is quite slow, my case has space for two more exhaust fans on the top how do i connect them? my set up is 1 default low rpm fan at the back and which is built into the case, in the front i have my cpu watercooler fans - H100iv2, whilst these are good for short term gaming 2/3 hours i notice where the motherboard and gpu connect (center of the case) heat builds up so i was planning on adding two more high power fans to the top of my case, i will also probably swap the awful low rpm fan as i dont think its remove hot air quick enough

i am planning on getting this "Corsair CO-9050039-WW ML Series ML120 120 mm Low Noise High Pressure Premium Magnetic Levitation Fan" as it says it has strong fans to cool my pc, and i need some strong fans to move the hot air from my cpu - these fans are 2400rpm which im guessing by having two of them as an exhaust should move the hot air pretty well?

my motherboard has 8x 4 pin but im not sure what that is or how many are not being used


i have never built or modified a pc before just a heads up, is it simply screw to the case and connect the one wire and boom it works?

decided to get 2x Corsair CO-9050039-WW ML Series ML120 120 mm Low Noise High Pressure Premium Magnetic Levitation Fan it says notice "ML fans require a constant 12V in order to lift the bearing for it to spin. Do not use using a fan controller that is voltage regulated and not supplying 12V" does this mean it needs to be on max all the time? also these fans are 4 pin

another question according to the overclockers listing the fans dont come with cables/connectors, im assuming i need these? where do i get them from, do they have to be special ones?
