I have the gigabyte ga-z77n-wifi motherboard and im assembling my pc in the bitfenix prodigy case.

For cooling i have 2x120mm fans 1x200mm fan and a antec h2o 620 liquid cooling system.

There only seems to be 2 ports to plug fans into the motherboard (cpu_fan and sys_fan) and i have 4x plugs to plug in and also the pump has another plug that I can't identify what it is. (The 2x 120mm fans are push/pulling through the radiator)


Unless i haven't found all the sockets im guessing i need to plug some of the fans direct into the psu? If so which ones should i plug into which and which cables do i need to use?

Thanks sorry if some parts don't make sence, im typing this on my phone.
 
I thought you could run two fans off the CLC pump housing but that's the ANtec 920. A splitter won't be expensive (£5 tops) and you can then run the two bitfenix fans off the splitter on the CLC and connect the 200mm fan to the mobo header. The CLC will plug into the CPU fan header to power the pump.

I'd ditch the antec fan as it can get loud
