Gigabyte DS3 - fan connection and firewire help please

I was reading the DS3 manual and can only see one internal connector for a system fan. Does this mean that this motherboard only allows one case fan to be connected to the motherboard and won't support additional case fans? Sorry if this is a bit noobish, but I can't see where additional fans can be plugged in(!)

Also, this board AFAIK doesn't support firewire so I've bought a separate firewire card. Can anyone tell me if the firewire link from my case (P160) front panel will connect to the firewire card? I bought the OcUK firewire card btw.

cheers G

Yeah, the DS3 only supports 2 fans (CPU & System). If you want more fans, either get a fan controller or use fans that connect to your PSU.

You haven't said which Firewire card you bought, so I can't answer your second question. If your card has an internal Firewire Port, then you probably can use it (additional cable required?), otherwise nope.
