First computer build. I need help making sure I have all of the components (cables, adapters, etc.) that will be needed to set up my 5 fans (3 case, 1 blowhole, 1 heatsink) to run on a line directly from my computer's PSU, while still maintaining the ability to monitor the fans RPMs.
Here is what I have already:
+Fortron FSP400-60PNU-R1
+5 Panaflo H1BXs (80x80x25mm, 39.6 CFM @ 2950 RPM, 32.0 dBA, 2.08 watts, 173 mA, 12v DC, 3 pin Molex connector)
In terms of getting the fan off the PSU, here are my questions:
I want to put 5 fans off of my PSU...that's 4 case fans and 1 heatsink fan. They would all be Panaflo H1BX's. Is it possible to fit all of these fans off of one 12v PSU line...i.e. can the line handle the wattage (pardon my ignorance of power supplies)? If so, what kind of "line splitters" do I need so I can do this (a link would be appreciated as to where I could find it too)? If not, what should I do?
I will also be getting a controller like the Sunbeam that is so highly recommended. Do I need any additional power cords to do this ontop of the fan-on-psu configuration?
Sometime in the future, I want to be able to display the RPMs on a Matrix Orbital MX series LCD display. Here are my questions:
Do I need to use something like this?
Sorry for the many questions, but I want to order everything I need in one order so I can set my system up ASAP! I'd really really appreciate any expertise anyone could offer. Thank you!!!
