what ends are the case fans (ex. molex, 3 pin, 4 pin)? just need to know if i need any adapters for my board/psu

...the case have a Molex connector that powers all the fans. But every fan has a 3 pins connector that connects to the power circuit that controls its speed trough the buttons on the top of the case.

This fan (as with most) come with the two pin Molex connector .... which connects directly to your motherboard. Most motherboards have at least two of these (one for the processor fan, and the other for a case fan). Not sure how many you plan to connect, but it seems to me that those two are sufficient. Of course, the fan will work with any 12v DC power (direction depending on which way you connect the two wires). How many do you plan to connect, and are you already using the TWO provided 12v connectors on your motherboard?

The fans will connect to the motherboard. They can connect to the psu if you have a molax adapter for the powers supply.

The board has 1 CPU 4 pin, 1 OPT CPU 4 pin, and 3x 3-4 pin fan plugs. If you need more fans than that you'll need a molex to 3-4 pin adapter, and you won't be able to monitor or control the fans.

I believe so, my setup has one single cable that has a seperate 6 pin and a 2 pin connector. You connect them together to make (one) 8 pin connector. Also the adapters are included to power your gpu with a standard molex adapter. So you should be good to go

Your motherboard has 4pin connectors! Those are compatible with 3 OR 4 pin fans which is great! You'll be able to plug them into the slots labelled CPU_FAN, CPU_OPT, SYS_FAN1, SYS_FAN2, SYS_FAN3, on your mobo :)

I own two of these cards. They have an 8 pin and a 6 pin for the molex connectors. Does this answer your question? If not let me know.

I purchased the 140 mm, though I would assume they should be the same. the fans themselves are 3 pin if you are going to attach them directly to your motherboard but they also come with 3 pin to molex adapters (which I used) in order to connect them directly to the power supply. I was able to attach two fans in series to one of my power supplies molex strips.

Pretty sure they are 4 pin. I will look when I get home and if I am wrong I will update in 24h. You can use 3 pin fans, Ive done it before, just make sure the groove on the fan headers line up and theyll run.

Yes... to any 4-pin fan connector. I also happen to have this MoBo, I am using this adapter to energize 2 CPU cooler fans, and also a 3 to 1 adapter to energize a lot more :)

yes it will i have it over my 16 gig set now also by a 4pin molex to 3 pin adapter if you want the best fan speed if you hook it right into the mobo it will be slow

If i remember correctly from when I build it, it has 1 8 pin and 1 6+2 connector..go to www.pcpartpicker.com and put all of the information in and it will tell you if everything is compatible and if you have enough power. It's what I used to buy parts for my computer and I could not be any happier.

You don't need an adapter, 3pin connector will fit a 4pin socket. However, you won't be able to manage fan speeds using PWM, for that you need PWM enabled fans, which are 4pin.

Power supply. IDE style, not SATA style. It is a pass through type male/female molex. There appears to be two types one with mobo fan headers and those with PWR supply plug in. Mine are the power supply type. I have had them about for 5 or 6 years now.

No it uses a standard 4 pin MOLEX adapter off a ATX Power supply unit, it comes with the adapter to convert the power to the smaller 4 pin motherboard power connector that most fans use, if you have a extra motherboard fan power connector, you can just connect it to that. Although the MOLEX power is more constant and won't put a drain on the power regulator on your motherboard.

Any 12 Volt, 3 Watt computer power supply will work with the correct 4-pin molex connector. For external applications like yours, you can use something less obtrusive like this one from Coolerguys, Coolerguys 100-240v AC to 12 & 5v DC 4pin Molex 2A Power Adapter

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.
