    New case - Fans question

    Hi, im about to get a corsair 500r case , it comes with 2 front fans, 1 back fan and a side window 200mm fan.

    The specs say it has a fancontroller for up to 3 fans and my motherboards specs say '' - CPU x 1 / System x 4 FAN connectors ''


    I wanted to get 2 extra 120mm fans for the top to exhaust, but since I already got 4 fans that come with the case am I correct to assume that I am missing 2 fan connector spots for the top fans ? if so what is a cheap solution to hook up all 6 fans, since im already overbudget with my gfx card and cpu cooler on top of the case.

    Look up Scythe Kaze Q, or just buy fans which come with controllers like Scythe Slip Stream PWM.

    The 4 system fan connectors are for fans. You plug your 3 pin fan connectors to those.
    The fan controller that comes with the 500r is self controlled, meaning you can plug fans into those and have them controlled by the fan speed controls on the case itself.
