I'm in the process of re-locating a mobo/cpu to a new case, and I'm not quite sure how to handle adding extra case fans. The old case had no fans, but the new one will have at least two. The motherboard is a ASUS F2A85-M which only has a single 4-pin case fan slot (unless I'm blind).
As I see it, my options are to use a y-splitter to the case fan slot on the motherboard, or to just connect the case fans directly to the power supply via the molex connectors. Are there pros or cons for either option? Am I overthinking this?
