how many fan headers on the K7S5A?

[TRD]

I want to know if I have at least 3 for the cpu fan and two for air flow fans or do i need to use 4 pin fans

I see only two (CPU and sysfan -- latter is near the front-bottom), but you can always hook one up to a connector from the PS. One fellow said that he was driving two fans off the sysfan, with a splitter.

thanks...... 2 is what I thought the pidcture showed but I couldnt be sure if the AUDIO connector might possibly be a fan header....

why don't use fans that you connect directly to the psu? I don't use anyone of the fan headers on my k7s5a.

fan headers on the motherboard are better as usually they use less power and may be monitored.

didn't think about that. but i still think it's better to connect the fans directly to the psu.

No. They dun use less power...even if they do...I wounldn't reccommend it. Too much fan on the header cause stability in the power supplied to the mobo. O/Cing could be severely compromise. Even if u r not O/Cing, stability in voltage could be a probs.

I agreed thou w/ tht monitor thing u r able to do w/ the mobo fan header.
