can the strip itself be plugged into a fan header instead of the pci board?

You don't have to place in a PCI slot on your case but it is powered via molex not PCI via motherboard.

Didn't tried it but you can place it somwhere else in the chasis you dont neccesarly use pci slots.

There's a cable with the little fan connectors on it. Additionally, some motherboards have 1 or 2 fan control plugs (in addition to the CPU fan control). If your motherboard has them, then it's *probably* a good idea to use those for the primary case fan, as the BIOS will rev the fans up and down according to its needs. (I think the included cable is designed to plug into an old-style Molex connector from the power supply, but I'm not 100% sure and I can't get to my machine at the moment.)

I have not verified this for myself, but I remember reading a comment that there was an output on the card inside the unit. Theoretically it would be possible to integrate with another system, but we are talking soldering onto a circuit card without damaging it.

This is a single PCI slot card very easy to install. The thickness of the fan is a photo illusion, it has less than an inch. About the consume, I don't know, may be you can find it in the specs, but I think that it's enough with 240w.

I believe you would power the fan splitter with the 3 pin power adapter plugged into one of your motherboards fan headers. However, with this configuration all fans connected to the splitter would receive the same amount of volts.

I don't know, but it should reach an available fan power connector on the motherboard.

I don't know. I am not using the power port. My laptop has enough power to the card that everything works fine without an external power supply.

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.

If you mean additional strip, I don't believe you can, because there is only one connection from the front panel unit. It looks like a pretty standard 4 pin connection though. I'll try to remember to add pictures of the connectors to the product Page in a day or 2.

Howdy, yes, depending on the size of fans you use, it can take up one or two PCI slot spaces. It doesn't use the PCI connector, however. It takes one 3 or 4 pin connector per fan and comes with an adapter for each one. I upgraded the fans to nicer ones with more umph. I'd recommend that, as the fans that come with this are pretty unimpressive overall.

Nope, but you could use a "Silverstone Tek Sleeved PWM Fan Splitter Cable" to connect both fans t the motherboard header.

I am using a 650wattt power supply. The card needs a power source other than the mainboard.

I'm not sure to what you are referring. Do you mean the part of the card that plugs into the PCI socket?

Unless the case/motherboard combo won't allow it, I don't see why this card wouldn't fit any standard PCI slot

There is two pin connector near bottom. But I do not know it is power connector or not. I do not use it. This card does not really use a lot power. Normal PCI slot is enough.

No,it is a PCI slot only.You will have to buy one that is specifically PCI-E.

Came with adapter cable incase you do not have a 6 pin PCI-E cable from your PSU
