Where do I connect the 3 pin fan connectors?

UnrealAlex · 07-31-07, 06:02 PM

Its the P35-DS3r mobo.
I don't really know where

JamesXP · 07-31-07, 06:04 PM

Normally there is three pins sticking out with a white back and some writing on the PCB like CPUFAN AUXFAN NBFAN Etc.

Theres one next to the FDD

UnrealAlex · 07-31-07, 06:22 PM

I found one next to the audio area, however the one next to the FDD says "PWR_FAN" and the one next to the audio says "SYS_FAN1". I can use either for the 80mm fans?
Also whats the 4 pin connector next to the FDD for? Manual marks it as "SYS_Fan2"

tells one next to you memory slots most likely for cpu fan

JamesXP · 07-31-07, 06:32 PM

4 Pin probably has rpm monitoring/PWM

looks like there are two 3-pins, sys_fan1 and pwr_fan. the 4-pin fans have rpm monitoring, like cpu_fan.

correction, a 4 pin has PWM controller
a 3-pin indicates an rpm sensor
a 2-pin is power to fan only
