How many chassis fans can I use with this motherboard?

I have the mother board and one chasse fan running and another mounted in the chasse powered by the power supply, the board only has 2 provisions for fans, however you could double the back plug pretty easy or add more from your power supply.

Sorry for the delay. Had to ask my son who built the computer for me. He says you can run two chassis fans off the motherboard and more from a power supply.

Is that a question? Ummm, well it's a very roomy case. It has 0 fans so you have to buy 3 or 4. The motherboard can fit small, mid, and large. You can put 2 to 3 HDD's or SSD's in there and you also have to buy your own power supply which is standard.

The rear panel will take 4, 80mm fans. Inside near the HDD bay another 60mm fan can be used. Hope this helps.

Yes, you can add two extra fans on the left side panel. Any size. Make sure you have enough fan controller plugins, if not buy a fan controller card to plug into a PCIe slot.

I don't know how many but more than my motherboard needed. In fact it had a lot of extra things that I didn't use.Probably the best case for the money. Roomy holds a lot of drives.

Per the tech specs you can mount on the side either 1 200mm fan or 2 120/140mm fans. http://www.corsair.com/en-us/obsidian-series-550d-mid-tower-quiet-case

There is one 120mm fan pre-installed in the back of the case.You can install a 120mm fan at the bottom of this case (depending on the size of the PSU), a 120mm fan on the side panel, two 120mm fans at the top of the case (depending on your motherboard) and one 120mm or one 140mm fan in the front of the case. The front of the case has mounting holes for two 120mm fans but you can only install one because the USB and audio ports are in the way. Including the pre-installed fan, you can fit a total of six fans in this case.

If you closely examine the motherboard photos, you will note it has 2 system fan headers. Being that it is mATX in size, you will be limited. If you want to have multiple fans running on your system, I would suggest you go with an ATX sized board, like this one: Gigabyte AMD FM2 A85X ATX Motherboard with Triple-Monitor support and Windows 8 Ready DDR3 1800 AMD - FM2 Motherboards GA-F2A85X-UP4It has at least 4 system fan headers on it.

Yes, but you should not use a CPU fan connection. Use one of the other motherboard fan connections. There are usually three of these available to power case fans. Piggyback if you run out.

Unfortunately, there is only one CPU fan and one case fan connector. If you need additional case fans, you will need a molex fan adapter.

I have 8 fans and 4 radiators. It took some customization but it's possible. You can easily fit a dual fan 360 radiator in the top.

It has 8 expansion slots. you can fit 4x double-wide GPUs in the chassis as long as you're using a motherboard that supports this. ASUS X99-E WS for example.

Yes...one cable supports 2 fans. So you can have up to 4 fans for your 2 plugs. Keep in mind they run in parallel and are treated as one fan on MOBO.

Yes you can put a 2 fans in the top if your motherboard allows for it. My RAM almost touches one of the fans and the other fan spot is blocked by my CPU heatsink. There is also a spot for a fan in the back that blows directly on to the CPU. As far as the front goes, I'm almost positive you can put one behind the front panel but I've never tried to do that.

Your math is correct. You should be just fine to run 8 fans. I have this power supply and I currently run 4 120mm fans on it. I don't remember what the current draw/fan was, but as long as you keep it under 2A like it says, you should be just fine.

only 1,but can install 3 given the right circumstances, most use 2 without issue though, all 3 are the larger size fans as well {120mm fan}

No room for a fan from what I remember. Stick with a low TDP Haswell/Ivy Bridge CPU and it will be fine.
