Good luck bud, you won't need it.

If you do get stuck ask for STULID, he probably knows the most on this forum.

Having some trouble connecting the 3 case fans.The mobo has PWR FAN1,CHA FAN 1.2.3.Will I disconnect the big plugs and just plug the small 3 pin fans straight onto the mobo. Pic blow,if its not good enough I can post onther one.

*imgeh*

That'll be the simple way. The fans will probably be regulated by the motherboard sensors, so will speed up / slow down depending on the temps. If you connect them straight to the PSU via them molex connectors then they will run at full speed. Up to you, what you want to do really, faster fans = more noise. I'd plug the one on your CPU cooler and the back fan into the motherboard and then the front fan straight into the PSU.

Thanks for that Azza,there is also a fan at the top of the case aswell,will I just plug that into mobo?

Azza · 7 Sep 2011 at 12:32

It's a big fan in the top isn't it? I'd be inclined to run it straight from the PSU, depends on how much noise it makes though. Entirely up to you.

BATTLE99 · 7 Sep 2011 at 12:45

ok mate ,thanks for that.
