Will this fit in a pcie slot? How many 3 pin connectors are required to power both fans, thanks

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.

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).

if you look at the board you can see the fan connectors as 4 pin, labeled as FAN1 or FAN2. theres also one thats a lighter color labeled CPU for the cpu fan. So it only fits 2 case fans. HOWEVER, if you have something like a corsair H100i (dont buy it, i've gone through 3 already from warranty) it has extra fan headers for the radiator, and you can also buy splitters for the mobo fan connecters, but i think the cut the voltage in half, slowing the fans

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.

I apologize for my first answer. I thought you were asking about a case. The motherboard supports 2 case fans with the 2 prong cord, and supports one case fan with the 3 prong fan cord. However, it should not matter as long as long as your PSU comes with the 4 prong standard molex connector because most fans have two power options, one of which being the molex connector.

Sorry, I'm using fan controller. I don't recall how many amps the MB header will handle, but that might be an issue for some if using just one header for all. Check out this thread, it may help. GL! :) http://forums.evga.com/tm.aspx?m=2012030

John, I'm unsure if this card fits in a PCI Express slot (although the description says it does). It is rather large. Also, be aware that it uses two (2) six-pin power connectors on your motherboard.

It's been a while since I built that PC as a gift to a relative. IIRC, those fans have molex power connectors, meant to attach directly to your power supply, not your motherboard.

After looking up your Mobo and seeing it has 2 PCIe slots,,,,, your answer is YES

I believe (by looking at the specs on the EVGA website...since I was too lazy to open my case) that there are 2 PCIE 6+2 Pin connectors on this model.

This card requires a 750W or greater power supply with two 150W 8 pin PCIe connectors. I hope this helps.

Yes it will fit in a standard 5v/3.3v PCI slot. It will not fit in a PCIe slot.

There are 2 system fan slots. One is a 4 pin and the other is a 3 pin. There is also a 4 pin CPU fan slot and a 3 pin Power fan slot so 4 total on MB. Hope this helps you!

3 pin generally means it's a pwm fan still just no 4th connector for the motherboard to control it. I have used this cable with corsair sp120 af120, and noctua nf-f12s.

There are 2 connectors. You should really get a fan controller or something of the sort. Two fans won't cut it. I have 10 in mine but that is all personal preference.

You can only plug it into the PSU. It's maybe possible to plug it into the motherboard (with an adapter for 4 pin to 3/4pin fan connector) but ther may be consequences, Why? For one, if you plug in 4 fans onto one connector on the motherboard the fans won't work (won't spin at standard speed) and also a high chance it will short Circuit the motherboard due to over power usage. Just pug it into the PSU and your good, also keep in mind that the cable has 2 sets of different voltages (2 of each), make sure the fans would work with bolth voltages or one voltages are compatible.

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.
