Of course. Fans just need power, and that's what the pins provide. Even if you gotta bend em you can do that to get it on there. (However, you shouldn't have to but if you gotta, it's an option). It wont affect the wiring any.

Yes, the fan is normally connected to a 4-pin molex. It has been a while ago when I put it together. Would like to verify it for you but unfortunately I've given the computer to a relative and is not with me at this moment.

These fans aren't PWM controlled, so you would need a separate fan controller. If you would rather have PWM fans they aren't much more in price than non PWM fans, you should be able to find some cheaper than these.

They are too loud for my taste at 12v. One by itself isn't too bad, but I have 11 fans on 3 radiators (Two 480s & one 360) and they are very loud. I had to get a fan controller to find the right balance between performance and noise. They do move a ton of air, but are very loud to me. I can't imagine how loud the non quiet edition ones are. I have tried so many fans over the years and a truly quiet fan that can still push enough air through a radiator just doesn't exist yet.

All 4 pin connectors support 3 pin fans but the PWM speed control is not supported (4 pin PWM fans only). This board has two connectors for case fans and one for the CPU. Personally, I'd spend a couple extra bucks and buy new 4 pin fans.

I would actually use 2 fans. One to push and one to pull. I used these for a Dish Network receiver which runs very hot inside the cabinet. I used one fan to blow air into the box and one fan to pull air out of cabinet. Works great.

Three pin fans, but they will work with four pin connections. I use mine with and four pin MSI motherboard.

It only connects to 3-Pin fans. Also if you used something like this with your fan you will not get to use the PWM features, as the fan can't be modulated if connected directly to the PSU (Unless there is a dial on the fan).

No far as I know it just works with 3 you would have to buy some 3to4pin adapters but it works very well with 3pin fan

I believe you can but they are grossly overpriced from what I remember (I researched this a while back). So, you might be better off getting a fan that comes with one - IMHO.

I have the dual fans (4000 cfm) ... using to cool a 355 SBC they are quality units, work fine, however, they draw a lot of juice and are noise.I had to go to a 140 amp. alternator to carry the load. I'm going to put seperateswitches so I can run 1 fan on cool days and 2 only when needed to drop the loadand noise. engine mounted in a '74 260Z roadster conversion with tight engine bayso cooling, even with an alum. rad. and ceramic coated headers a task. Fans did the trick.

In your case.. using it as a rear case fan, use the molex connector, not the 3 pin one.. <unless you want to monitor the fans RPM's via the MB> As for the setting.. Does your case get warm? If so use the high setting.. I personally like quiet fans, since its a case fan, try the medium setting. If you have a temp monitor with that case, watch it and adjust accordingly.

No this fan did not work at all on my board, it was a wast of time to try and replace the fan. I ended up get a fanless video card (Asus GT520 2G DDR3 PCIE DVI/HDMI/VGA LP ENGT520 SL/DI/2GD3 Graphics Card).Bob

Funny thing is.. They connect to the motherboard.. You will see were they connect and say fan1 to fan2.. Awkward set hp of how it works..

120mm fans work, you can try the antec tricool 120mm fans. There are plain ones and ones with different color leds. Hope thus helps.

Yes you can put a 2 fans in the top if your motherboard allows for it. My RAM almost touches one of the fans and the other fan spot is blocked by my CPU heatsink. There is also a spot for a fan in the back that blows directly on to the CPU. As far as the front goes, I'm almost positive you can put one behind the front panel but I've never tried to do that.
