I got my pc parts

Installed the cpu and cooler and psu and the mobo into the case but

I’m lost on how to connect my fans on my case to be powered

Anyone willing to walk me through hooking up everything via Skype or FaceTime?

Idk where they’re connecting on the mobo :/


I’m usig the asus prime b350m-a board with the rosewill noutilos caae comes with 2 intake and 1 our fan and idk where to connect them :/


(First time building ) I’ve looked online for hours and can’t figure it out

looks like your mobo only has one chassis fan controller located right beside the battery. you will have to get a splitter and tap into the power from the psu.

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812987007 ~mobo powered "Y" splitter (for 2 fans)

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812311001 ~psu powered "5 fan" splitter

e/ if you opt for the 5 fan splitter the one female connector HAS to be connected to the motherboard, the 4 pin male molex connector to the psu, and well the 5 fans to the corresponding male fan connectors.. the single female connector is the fan controller which allows the mobo to read fan speeds, or jump the variable fan speed settings of each fan.

e2/ for now until you obtain a splitter, just hook up the exhaust fan and leave the 2 intake fans, it shouldnt harm the system. once you obtain the splitter, it doesnt matter which direction the fans blow the air, you just hook them up and thats it.

The only point I see is the cpu fan 3 pin one on the board... is not understanding where... also the fans have to connect ions on them q 3 pin and a molex I think it’s 4 larger pins with a combo stackable back where they look like the piggy back on each other my exhaust is a 3 pin though only

the only chassis/case fan support you have on the motherboard is as i said in a previous post right beside your cmos battery..



if your other cables have piggyback molex adapters already.. hook up your exhaust fan to the motherboard via the 3/4 pin, and piggyback your 2x intake fans connecting them directly to the psu.


fans in the system look like this? without the micro 3/4 pin connector?



if so dont worry about hooking any up to your motherboard, and just connect all of them to your psu.. you just wont have the thermal speed throttling that the motherboard can control. the fans will run at one speed all the time.

I’ll take pics and post when I get home.. cuz I’m not understanding how I’m suppose to do this 😂

Pm me if you still need help.

i thought i was pretty straight foreward with my last post.

plug your rear fan ( exhaust) into the motherboard ( located beside the battery; again as shown in in the image above), plug the 2x front fans together via piggybacks, connect the piggybacks to a power feed from your power supply.. done..
