PC case fans have become a LOT more complicated in the last decade ago or so. Previously you would just connect a Molex or 3-pin fan to your PSU or motherboard, and they would run. Okay so they WOULD run very loudly (most of the time), but it WAS fairly easy.

Nowadays, though, there are just so. many. different. options. There are 3 and 4 pin fans, daisy chained fans, interlocking fans, RGB LED fans, PWM fans and more. Why are there so many options? And are there pros and cons to each option, especially in terms of wiring them all up?

Well YES, RGB fans are certainly a bit harder to install and wire up due to the extra cables (for the RGB support). But I cover everything you need to know about PC case/chassis fans in this video - from purchasing decisions, to their actual installation, and also their post-install maintenance (such as cleaning your fans).
