You can connect it to your psu to 4pin connector which will run at full speed or you can buy a cheap fan controller where you can connect 2-5fans which ever you like and can rub them at low rpm for quiet performance...what you do is coonect these fans to your mobo and the stock fans to psu(power supply)

I used a fan splitter cable such as http://www.amazon.com/SilverStone-Technology-Sleeved-Splitter-CPF01/dp/B00B46XKKQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1432155772&sr=1-1&keywords=motherboard+fan+splitter You could also use a separate fan controller instead.

Yes I own the case there is more enough just make sure you have enough space between the graphics card and the the next PCI slot becuase I had to get a new motherboard becuase my I could barely my gtx 770 into the main PCI slot becuase the WiFi card would block airflow to the GPU fan .Hope you have a nice build and also there is some cable mgmt but it is almost none present in had to hide most of my cable in the back side of the hard drive bay .HAVE A GREAT BUILD

Hello Rashad, The case only has two fan mount positions. The rear fan is about 80mm wide, and four additional screw holes are there for the next largest standard fan size (100mm?). I also have a larger fan (which I believe is a 140mm, if memory serves), that I mounted in front.The removable side door has many ventilation holes which could undoubtedly hold an improvised side-mounted fan if you really need extra ventilation. The power supply has it's own fan of course, but no one counts these. One odd thing, I notice that this case is slightly noisier than my others. Virtually all of the noise comes from my stock Intel CPU fan, despite running cool at it's fairly quiet default speed. By comparison, the front and back fans are virtually silent.

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.

Yes it is possible, I personally left the stock one and just added two extra one where the case does not provide. It is just up to you. If you have the extra money to buy three fans . Go for it !

I use it in the reverse way since i have a 120MM, but the case supports a 140mm fan. It's been in this configuration for a few years now with no issues.

Yes. I have 9 fans in mine, connected to a Lamptron FC2. 4 are Phanteks 140mm, 3 are AF 120's and 2 are the 120's that came with the case. When I turn them down or off, it is silent. Turn them all up and you hear wind. But Yes the mounts are all standard 120mm and 140mm.

How fans connect is self-evident from the connector. No fans ever connect with molex. Not sure why you would even ask such a question, lest it be your first build and you wish to act like you actually know something. Positive suggestion: Add extra fans. They will all connect the same way as any fan does.As to Max RPM, read the description: "120 mm fan x 2, 1200 RPM, 17 dBA" All other fans "OPTIONAL" which means "Not Included"

Well the model I got was the N520 and the fans are 92MM fans. I thought they were 120 so I was surprised but happy that they were actually smaller. This meant that they would fit many more cases than a standard "big boy" CPU cooler would. This cooler should fit your MoBo fine. Just be sure you aren't using a super small case is all. Also even if you have large heatsinks on your RAM, unless you have a very VERY small motherboard you should be just fine.

The fan size is 120mm or 140mm for the sides. The case came with a large fan on top, 200mm if I remember correctly. I have 4 120mm fans on the inside, one 200mm on top. Cooling is not a problem. I do not recall how many it has slots for, but it came with three 120mm. I replaced them with all red leds, looks really nice. Check with Cooler Master Web site for additional specs ensure it meets your needs.

I'm guessing the h100i is a fan. If that is the case then need not worry. I am using 8 fans within the case not just the standard 3 it comes with. This case is really big and can accommodate anything but for reassurance go back to the product page and see what size are the fans being used and match any additional fans specs to that.

I installed a Seidon 240M with dual fans on the top. It was very difficult to keep the fan that came with the case also on the top. If you just want to use the two 120mm water cool fans and remove fan that came with the case you will have no issues at all. I just wanted all 3 and was a bit difficult and needed unique set up.

My P-280 case came with two 120 MM fans on top, 1 in back, space for the one in the power supply (with its own intake filter). It has a wiring block where these 3 supplied fans plug in and then connect to the power supply. These are 3-speed fans. Then it has place in front for two 120mm to blow in over the hard drives (with an intake filter) and place for another two 120mm from the hard drives into the middle of the case. On top of that, there is one on the graphics card another two on the hard drive.Do not buy the fans until you get your motherboard, because some fans are 3 wire, some have the big Molex plug, and the newest ones are PWM with 4 wires. As I have stated, this is one superior case and Antec has gone out of their way to make it spectacular. But do not hesitate to get it as it is discontinued for one that is more show and tell than performance. I suppose that is what the buying public wants.

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.

as many as 7 120mm fans if you remove the 5.25 drive cage, or 4 120mm fans and 2 140mm fans, or 6 120mm fans if you leave the case in its stock configuration. lots of water cooling options as well

It comes with 2 Apevia brand 120mm fans. The fans each have 4 bright LED lights (red, blue or green). I moved the fan on the side panel to the backside of the case (keeps the cpu cooler) and it still looks cool. Looks better in my opinion and is a bit quieter.

Hi J.Carrol, the side fans are 120mm. There are two fans locations, so you can put 2 120mm fans. Since they are not filtered, I would suggest using them as exhaust fans or you will pull dust into the system. If you get a filter that covers the area, then use the fans as an intake. The case comes as a negative pressure setup. I changed my case to a positive pressure setup. I also had custom filters made and now use the top 200mm fan as an intake and everything exhaust out the rear now. The case is great, however, I never like the fans on the side. I replaced my side window. Here is a video I did showing that in case you ever get interested. I personally think it looks better without the side fans. The system is much much quieter now also. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNVp0_7dy4Y
