One motherboard, 2 LED fans ?

[holycpu]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My friend said motherboard only support 2 LED fans.

My motherboard is Lanparty Ultra-D, and I plan to use 3 LED fans and 2 non-led fans, is it even possible?

How come he said only able to support 2 LED fans ?

Thank you

Maybe there's only 2 X 3 pin headers on the mobo?

His mobo may only have 2 fan headers. You can have as many as you have headers for, and more as you can run them off regular molex connectors with adapters.

So pile them in.

My video card already require me to buy a molex connector for my powersupply, then do I have space for another molex connector?

Okay, that completely depends upon your system. My motherboard supports about 5 fans. But I have 17 fans in my computer. For those you don't need RPM monitoring on, simply use a molex connector to power them. As for running a fan in line with the video card aux power, that SHOULD be fine, but I definitely wouldn't suggest it if you are using a big / fast fan. That is a very vital power line going to your video card, and it's not worth messing with if you don't have to.
