The reason why most of us have so many fans is because we use the bigger 4 pin connecter which come with a female along with the male to continue the connection directly from the power supply NOT the motherboard.
It is also recommended not to use your motherboard as the power source of your fans. Try to keep away from using the small 3 pin and find yourself some bigger four pin connector fans.
The picture below can give you an idea on what i am talking about. Notice there is both a male and female to continue the connection as i mention before.- Damien

Originally posted by WiggoI only monitor fans by the motherboard headers, I never power them from there as the load required for them may cause instability in the motherboard so they get powered straight from the PSU. ;)
