Evil_Acid 0 Posted November 12, 2007 hey guys, i recently purchased the CM Cosmos an just wanna know somethin about the case fans. i've got the case fans connected to my PSU, but really i wanted to connect it to the motherboard ASUS P5K-E mobo but i cant becuase the case fans have 4pin molex connecters. i was wondering if i purchase the 4pin to 3pin adapters, and connect them on to the motherbaord, will these fans damage the mobo in any way?. i think there likes 3 chasis fan connecters on the mobo itself. many thanks guys.

Maxession 1 Posted November 12, 2007 It is possible, but I have heard that some coolers won't work with this. Although, it's a standard cooler, so I guess it would work. Example of cable: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ravynmagi 0 Posted November 13, 2007 I took a picture of my Cosmos before I started putting stuff inside it. Fortunately this picture captures the fan cables with the adapters. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ravynmagi 0 Posted November 14, 2007 that takes the.......!!!I never recieved those adapters thats so unfair man, what country are you from? United States. Got my case from Directron.com. Seems like you got different fans from some of us. Because you say you want the 3 pin fan connections because your fan only has 4 pin molex connections. These fans that came with mine are native 3 pin connections, and the adapter connects to it for a molex connection. So your fans seem to be somewhat different.

Evil_Acid 0 Posted November 14, 2007 im from the uk, i wonder why they decided to supply different case fans here. i suppose i can always just purchase the 4pin molex to 3pin adapters online no big deal. but thanks guys for the help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
