Case Fan Connections?
Does the game have any kind of Fan header Hub? for connecting many case fans?
or are we stuck on motherboard ports only for connecting case fans? right now i have 3 case fans with no way to connect them in Gigabyte GA b350 am4 motherboard

well in a short sentence ..or two: you can connect fans woth other fans together like ...a rope... and only one of them has to be connected to the motherboard :2016popsicle:

yes, the fans need to be on the same side ...at least most of the times

Indeed. If the three fans are close enough together in the case, you can daisy-chain them all to each other and make only one connection to the motherboard. I couldn't do this in my example because the fans were too far apart... At least I think that's the reason. :)
Wait I can chain them?!

Can you do this IRL? I mean excluding the power requirement of each header, how would the connction even work?

In RL you would use Y splitters (doesn't work with PWM).

I believe some of the NZXT cases have fan hubs on the back side of the case too.
