Commissar Tommy32 8 Report post Posted February 16, 2012 Hi all, So I have changed my motherboard choice and I am now going for an Asus sabertooth p67. I just have 1 question however: I am going to have a Heatsink Fan CPU cooler but I also want the assistance fan on the Motherboard 50x10mm. Where would the assistance fan plug in? I have heard you can connect it to a molex plug on your power supply but I don't know if thats true Thanks in advance Tommy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Commissar Tommy32 8 Report post Posted February 16, 2012 What you talking about? I just need to connect it to somewhere? I don;t need to solder it to the board! It already has a connector in the end but is there a molex connector in PSU's? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Qdeathstar 1763 Report post Posted February 16, 2012 The molexers will just cost extra money and don't provide full voltage due to the low-reactance voltage capacitors they have in them. I've been dealing within computers for over 20 years, so i know what i'm talking about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Commissar Tommy32 8 Report post Posted February 17, 2012 Motherboard You see that square in the middle? Well thats where you mount the assistance fan. I just want to know where to plug it in. It has a 4 pin connector (I believe) [the fan this is] Fan [50x10mm] I was just wondering where to connect it to as the 4 pin CPU Fan Slot will be taken. Sorry For The Double Post [Please don't ban me ] I have read the whole manual online and there is a very small connector for the 50x10mm fan to connect into but i could not see it Sorry for wasting time Also it was on page 60 of the online manual (Yeah I had a lot of free time today ) Thanks for your help anyway, Tommy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuPz0r 5361 Report post Posted February 17, 2012 Normally you can get molex adaptors for your PSU that will work with any type of fan, if you don't have any free motherboard plug-ins. I've not used that motherboard before, but there are normally power plugs for CPU fans at the top near the CPU slot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
narcolepsy 581 Report post Posted February 19, 2012 This should sort it. Do your research first. It'll convert that 4pin header coming off the fan to Molex. you then plug it straight into the Molex ports coming off the power supply. https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=CPU+4+pin&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a#q=4pin+to+3pin+adapter&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=jww&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&prmd=imvns&source=univ&tbm=shop&tbo=u&sa=X&ei=MFRAT8_WJJGxhAeW88zLBQ&ved=0CFIQrQQ&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=eb4800043673e0cd&biw=932&bih=748 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Commissar Tommy32 8 Report post Posted February 24, 2012 no conversion is needed the Motherboard has an allocated 4 pin connector for the assistance fan but thanks for the help anyways Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
