I'm just starting out here and I really need some guidance. I recently purchased an MSI Sekira case 500X that can hold up to five fans inside. However, I'm using an outdated Z370 MSE Gaming Carbon Pro motherboard with only six fan connectors available. The issue is that if I connect my Noctua CPU fan with two fans and a heatsink, I won't have enough slots to fit all the fans. I've bought a splitter, but I'd like some helpful advice on estimating the power draw of these fans and how much current my motherboard can handle. To be honest, I've checked the manual myself but didn't find any specific details. Please, if you're kind and patient, your support would be greatly appreciated as I try to figure out the best solution and ensure everything works smoothly. Thank you!
