H100 question

[franco_22]

Maybe a really dumb question but can I connect case fans onto a H100? (in addition to the cooling fans that came with it ofc)

No expert but I don't see why not, as long as the fans have the three pin connector.

The H100 has connectors for 4 120mm fans.



Having said that it might be better to plug the case fans directly into the motherboard.
Unless they have the large connectors of course.

Yeah I thought that as well I just ran out of fan ports, I ordered a fan splitter from OcUK but it's not working and tbh I can't be asked now to get another one.

How about molex to three pin fan connector ?

Maybe summet like this ?

I picked on molex cause they are usually freed up with most things on SATA power connectors, never looked if there are SATA power to 3\4 pin

Yes, you can. But like what tnx said, it'd be better to connect them to the MB fan header instead. Each fan port on the pump is rated up to an amp, just make sure the fan won't pull more than that.

btw, the fan port will take either 3pin or 4pin.

tnx , that is exactly what I bought.

Greybeard thanks for letting me know, I better take the fan out just in case its drawing more then 1amp.

It's actually the exhaust back fan of a Corsair 750D powered by a Corsair AX 760.

Edit: I love Corsair

The reviews read ok

Shame the ends are not black coloured.

P.S. Nothing wrong with liking Corsair.

No problem at all . Any molex/SATA to 3pin/4pin fan converter will do. It's just a matter of choosing the right one that fits your needs.
