How many fan connectors traditionally come on a mobo? I'm just asking because I was looking at mine yesterday and discovered that mine only has 3! I';m using a P4P800-E Deluxe, BTW

so if I wanted to add another case fan, I'd be screwed, right?

no you just wouldn't be able to have to powered or monitored by the motherboard. You'd have to get a 4 pin molex fan, and power it via the psu

ok thanks guys! and this connector regulates the wattage going into the fan, right? so I won't have to worry about overloading the motor

No,the power supply puts out 12 volts on the line(which most pc fans are meant to run at),so theres no need to regulate the voltage.Thanatos_2005 said:
