I have a rear fan and and front fan on my case but only one fan power socket on my m/b, apart from the CPU fan. Is there such a thing as an adapter to allow two plugs to use the one socket?
 
Recieved it today and works a treat although, and this is always what concerns me when fiddling around inside my PC, the fan socket has four pins but the socket only had three, one was blank. A little concerned but I seemed to have go away with it!
 
Thanks. I looked it up, it's a GA-F2A88XM-DS2 and should have two front fans. The CPU has been reaching 73c, that's only 7c away from its Tj MAX. a litt;e concerning. I've read it's possible to increase the fans' speed, but is that safe?
 
I did have a idea that replacing the paste may be a thing. How long does it keep in it's original container, would it still be good?

I honestly can't remember the name of the fan, it was a big old monster though, well the largest Ive used up till now. :)

I'd be more inclined to just get a fresh tube, you can get something decent enough for a few quid, the issue is finding somewhere that won't sting you for delivery, a local PC place might be more convient.

LOL Yeah, have noticed that practise increasing in popularity. Have been stung a few times by that trick. ;)
