Well, I might be a little bit older than the average here and I'll be honest that I didn't open the case of a computer since the 486 era (yes, I'm that 'old
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
I'm planning my next computer and going through the parts list. I am doing my homework, I have downloaded the manuals of each component to make sure that everything will work.
It looks like I'll be having a total of 7 fans (5 case + 1 VGA + 1 CPU)
The motherboard will be an ASUS P5B Deluxe (no Wifi) and the PSU will be a Seasonic S12 500W.
All this stuff will be going in an Antec P182 case.
According to the motherboard manual, the P5B Deluxe has;
1x CPU Fan connector
3x Chassis Fan connector
1x Power Fan connector (I have no idea what a Power Fan connector is)
This makes a total of 5 connectors, where I'll be having 7 fans.
Now my questions are;
Where do I plug the remaining 2 fans?
Can all those fans be monitored? If yes, how?
Thank you.
