Quick case fan question

MissChief · 30 Aug 2013 at 01:04

I've managed to get everything from my old NZXT Lexa Blackline into my new Coolermaster CM690II but I have a question.

I've always used Molex connectors for case fans but for ease of cabling I've connected the case fans to the Sys Fan headers in the motherboard. Will I need to enable anything in the BIOS on first boot? They're connected to Sys Fan headers 1, 3 and 4. board is in the sig. Will they 'just work'?

Thank you kindly.

Well I figured as long as the CPU cooler fan came in it wouldn't explode and the fans came on.

Just look in the case the first time you turn it on and if they spin you are a ok.

They should just work. The only reason you should need to go into the BIOS is to adjust the fan speeds, and the monitoring. For instance, my motherboard stopped at boot because my CPU fan was running slowly. It's a 140mm fan that doesn't need high revolutions, so I had to go into the BIOS and lower the warning limit so it would let me boot with a slow fan.
