OK, so I've got 5 case fans in my Cosmos 1000.
1 on the bottom and inside the case
1 behind the CPU on the back of the case
1 on the CPU cooler
2 on top of the case
I'm reading the mobo manual and don't get where all 5 of these plug in. Seems as if there are 5 fan connections on the mobo but they are labeled differently.
CPU_FAN (4 PIN)
SYS_FAN1 (3 PIN)
SYS_FAN2 (4 PIN)
PWR_FAN (3 PIN)
NB_FAN (3 PIN)
Can any of my case fans plug into these? My Mobo doesn't have a North Bridge Fan, so would I leave that alone? Also, what's a PWR_FAN used for? Sorry for these insanely stupid questions but this is the first time I've built a PC by myself. Here's a pic of my mobo and the location of the fan connections.
