Hi i have my 120mm side fan connect to my psu via molex connection,,thing is its loud hums abit.
I wondered can i connect 3 pin connection from the fan to the sys header pins on the mob,will this control the fan speed to sysytem temperature?
Any help be great
Hi sinbin :)
That may work, also if your Motherboard etc is supported try SpeedFan - Freeware its a very handy application.
personally I like to try and stay away from using the motherboard fan headers whenever possible ( cuts down on the power used directly off the motherboard.
However you appear to have an adequet power supply so it's worth a try, like Ciara posted speed Fan may be of some help.

I also dont like using mobo headers.will it affect my mobo.
Anyhow i used the sys fan header on mobo now the the fan is much leass noisy seems to be spinning at 1000rpm rather than 2000rpm which drives u insne!.
In bios i have system fan control enabled which i think controls the speed of the side fan on that mobo header.thanks for help

Power draw for one case fan is minimal and won't hurt a thing.
Where trouble starts is people try using a Y-connector and running two case fans off the case fan header.
That is a no-no!

I just posted this on a previous post.., Try to get anti vibration fan screws. they come in handy, they will reduce any sound coming because of vibration of the fan.

ah my fan sits in a clip case if you know what i mean was allready on side of case!
But i tell you 2000 rpm drives me nuts!could not deal with it atall like a jet is taken off near my left ear.so happy its spinning at 1100-13000 max under bios control ;
But i have 3 case fans now at 120mm each, and 1 cpu fan ,alsp 1 120mm psu fan all spinning and my system is very quiet ...well happy
mike so one 120mm fan and 1 artic freezer 7 rev 2.0 cpu fan coming of mobo is no big deal.wont affect performance or strain anyhting mobo wise
