Do all fans have to be connected to the motherboard? I have a micro atx motherboard and it only has room for one fan power . I was thinking of getting a case which has built in fans.

for my case the "case fans" all hook up to the psu through one of the connecters ... only thing to remember when you get a case with case fans is with the extra flow of air comes the extra dust... look for a case with filters for the fans(think you can even buy them now too) or you will be cleaning out your computer twice as much...Do all fans have to be connected to the motherboard?

If you have connectors on mobo you can connect them to you mobo the you can adjust their speed from the bios or if the motherboard has a utility do it from windows or you can attach them to the PSU then you will need to get a fan controller or put fan speed limiters.
-LOL now its better
No, you can connect them to your PSU if you wanted. I dunno why anybody would want too though tbh cause you cant control your fan speeds.
because the mobo only has 1 fan attachment kinda like the poster? ;) and others have fans while being connected to the PSU have a speed toggle ;) granted it is nice to have all your fans connected to the Mobo it's hardly necessary for speed control ;)No, you can connect them to your PSU if you wanted.

This was a common problem with them and obviously due to a defect in the fan, but it's just another situation why one may not want to connect fans to their mobo. After that happened, I have all of my 6 CM fans running directly off the PSU, even though they probably wouldn't have the same issue.[QUOTE="Newportzzz"]
