How to setup fans?

[Gozma]

i am getting a new rig soon but i am not sure how to setup the fans. Where do i attach them? and how do i know what pins i need? i am getting an ANTEC 1080 and i dunno what pin fans to get for the front. thanks

It looks like you have a recent P4 Asus board; there should be 2-3 fan headers on the motherboard itself. One will probably be devoted to the CPU fan. The headers will have 3 pins, and so if they're typical case fans ( <= 3500 RPM ), use those. If you need to mount more fans, note that most 3-pin fans come with a 4-pin adapter that you can use to power them off the PSU itself.

yo, i have asus board and i have the same case as you. This is what you get, get 5 case fans, 4 pin connecters. If they come with 3 pins, get the 3-4 pin converters. I have the antec 1080b, and i have 5 vantec stealth fans that work pretty good.

what are the fans that come with the case? 3 or 4 pin?

the less fans you hook up to the mobo the better it is...

use 4 pin a dapters if you can

good luck!

i plan to get the digital doc thermal sensor. It says on the description that uses 3 pins. How do i set that up?
