Why are the fan connectors so big? I cant plug them into my ASUS P8Z77-V DELUXE LGA 1155 Intel Mobo? any suggestions?

If your talking about the 4 pin molex connectors they attach to your power supply. A suggestion get rid of the stock fans they don't move very much air

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.

You can get adapters to convert the Molex connectors to 3-pin connectors. Then those fans can be plugged into motherboard fan headers or a controller.Personally, I never bothered. I plugged mine straight into the power supply and have never had a problem with noise or heat. AMD 1090T, multiple drives, GTX 660, Corsair H50, no big deal. The fans are simply too big to generate much noise.

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 :)

You need to match power supplies to Motherboards since the multi pin connector is on the motherboard.

It is trully hard to give an honest answer to this question. some manufactors make propriety coolers and what would appear to work does not. my board is listed as having an fm2 socket therefore i assumed this cooler was compatible through no fault of the coolers it turns out that instead of and amd fm2 i needed and intel 1150. if you are unsure, first take some measurements look at how the old one attaches do a little research on the interent and worse case scenario opt for just the fan replacement if you can make do with that instead.'

Sorry for the delay: This power supply is model H305N-00. The motherboard connector is 2" (up until now, I thought these were a standard size).

Most powersupplys have a 4 pin molex I'm not sure what 3 pin connection you have on your power supply. I left the fan on low (as a case fan) because I used it in a low power system

MOBO Fan covers only 2 memory dimms if you need to get a Y connector if you don't have enough fan headers to plug into

I hooked it up on my motherboard to an LGA1155. It's beedn over a year so I don't remember the particulars except I went though the instructions a couple of times before I figured out the installation. However, the end result is a very quiet, cool fan.

Connect a molex to the fans if you want to use the integrated fan controller. There should be a female molex connector coming for the controller

Computer cases don't have fan connectors on them, you can only plug fans into the motherboard or a motherboard add in card.

I had the GeForce 9500GT and all the holes lined up but the plug was different. I had to cut the wire and use the plug from my old fan, then it worked perfectly.

Google your Gigabyte motherboard and see if it has an 1155 socket - that was easier than asking the question on Amazon

You need a lot of space between memory slots and CPU - the fan with frame is too big - did not work for me. Maybe will work for you but measure all spaces on mother board from CPU to Memory slots and compare with fan detentions before you buy. Good Luck. Tom

The PSU itself has standard connectors. You can purchase adaptors to change the 3 or 4 pin case fans into the type this provides. Most fan connectors are provided by the motherboard, in a normal setup.

It is a little snug, the best solution is to fold up a sheet of paper thick enough and slip it under the mobo before you plug in the connector. That way it will act as a platform for the board and prevent it from bowing to much.

That mobo has that large black plate or heat spreader on it I don't think it will fit you might have to mod the stand for the fans but they way it sits is it just hold into the end tabs that hold the ram down its just sits over that I have the gig G1 sniper 5 mobo and for me I want to to be more tight to hang onto the ram tabs so I bent it a bit so it was more snug on there if you want a plug and play fit I don't thing this will be the one it won't fit if you don't mind modding the fan a bit go for it

The ons cable that has 3 Molex spots can run up to 3 of these at once, but I would strongly recommend pluging them ingo your mother board so that you would have some control over the fan speed via the bios.
