Hey /g/, so summers' coming up and the temps are getting high. Unfortunately my mobo only has one fan header (not including CPU cooler fan) so I have to use a splitter to use two case fans. My case has room for five.
Any way I can add any more without using the mobo? Is there a way to connect any to the unused cables from my psu?

get a fan controller. hook it to the chassis header and power from molex. If you dont need a fan curve you can get cheap molex to 3 pin adapters and the fan will run 100% constant

Maybe you know something I don't and the US market is probablly better but all the fan controllers I've found have been shit, and not able to bring fans down to a silent level. Except for the the-setting fan controllers that often are built into cases, those work reasonably well for some reason, probably because they use resistors.

Good idea, but get some $1 low noise adapters to get them to run at desired level.

fans have diminishing returns, the difference between 3, 4 or 5 fans is minimal with normal components. also use SQT next time

The Nzxt grid+ works well from personal experience, other than that I don't know what to suggest
