2 questions:

1) the other day I saw a fan that uses a bigger and wider wires to connect, according to my motherboard manuel there are 3 fan connectors and all are small, so where would the big plug fit into? Does it go to the alternative power plug I have my motherboard for older power sources?

2) If my fan's wiring is too short, could I simply strip the wire and connect any other wire that's the same size and solder it on to lengthen it?

Anyhelp is appreciated.

1. More than likely the big plug that you see is the 4 prong molex connector. It is the same one that your hdd plugs into. If you have a spare, plug it into that.

2. Yes.
