Ok guys stupid question. I got my ek 360 today. Where I will connect my fans. It's just I have only one input for CPU fan on my main board.

Check your mobo cpu header has enough wattage to power 3 of them, if it does splice the fan cables together

Just connect only one rpm sensor wire.

Or there are some 3 to one convertors out there.

Id get the cable most people are not comfortable splicing wires and running the risk of having a fire.

Good point. Its not difficult by any means but if your not comfortable dont do it

Never heard of a fire but I guess its possible

You could buy a fan controller as well which will allow you to not only connect multiple fans, but also control there speed/ switch them off etc.

I say I'll go for the fan controller. But for now can I connect one fan with the CPU and the other two as system fan. Just to turn it on and use it for now. It is it too risky

I cant see any risk in that
