Hi everyone. I am stuck and would love some help from you kind people. ;) I have two issues
1) I have to connect one of my Noctua fans to my Corsair HX 520W but I don't know how to do so.
2) I have to connect my Lian-Li blue ring led to the psu but again, I don't know how to.

I have provided pictures of the adapters I have in each case.

1) There is a cable with the PSU, that has 3 connectors, one presumably to the PSU as the other 2 have "Fan Only" written on them. The first photo shows one end, it has 4 holes, but 2 pins. The photo on the right shows the other end of the cable, it has two connectors labelled 'fan only'. The one on the far right shows the cable coming from the fan itself.

2) This photo shows the adapter for the Blue Ring LED. I don't know how to connect it. :rolleyes:

Apologies for the quality, it's an old camera and isn't great at close shots (thinking of getting a Nikon D40 ;)). Also, you can ignore the date, it was never set....I haven't been attempting the build since 2007:p Thanks
 
I have a Corsair HX520 and it comes with "normal" molex connectors, as well as the "fan only" ones.

Is the blue ring LED connector a 4 pin molex connector? If so, find the "normal" PSU molex connectors in your PSU cable bag that comes with the PSU, and connect the blue ring LED connector to one of those. Then, I would use the adapter for the blue ring LED on the noctua fan, and connect that to the molex connector on your PSU.

Why do you need to connect the noctua fan to the PSU? Have you run out of motherboard fan headers?
 
I can't find those normal ones. On the mobo there are 3 fan headers, 2 for chassis fans and 1 power fan. I am using the chassis ones and I can't reach the pwr one...I've tried but it just wont stretch. Thanks for the reply:)

The Blue Ring LED is a 2-pin so I need the adapter
