Hello
I've just ordered (havent got it yet) the cosmos s case together with an maximus extreme motherboard. This is my first build ever. I was just wondering how the case fans are to be hoocked up?

There are 8 fan connectors on the motherboard and two are reserved for cpu and pwr. That leaves 6 3 pin connectors, 3 chassis and 3 optional.

Is there one single cable for all the chassis fans?
Or are all the fans connected separatly?
Could you have several fans powerd by one connector? If so how many?
Also is the big side fan also to be connected to the motherboard?

The case would have 6 case fans; 1 front, 3 top, 1 back, and the big side fan.

Thanks
 
Hi
Yes I'd like to be able to control the fans, which is why I'd rather have them plugged into the motherboard. I dont know what kind of connectors the fans in the case has already but the three top fans, that i will add, are 3-pin fans.

Would it be possible for two or more fans to be sharing one motherboard connector using a cable splitter or would that draw to much power on that connector?

Also there's a 3-pin PWR_FAN connector on the motherboard, what fan is that supposed to be connected to? Sorry for the newbe questions... :)
