Where do I connect the extra case fan?

Forum CPU & Components : Other Components Where do I connect the extra case fan?

Word :    Username :           
 

The antec three hundred has two fans, and I want to add another to the front. My motherboard GA-MA790X-UD4P only has two 3pin connectors, which my included case fans will take up. Where do I connect the front fan to? I've heard that you can connect the front fan to the 4pin molex from your psu and just leave one pin out, or do I have to buy an adapter? Oh and is the power fan connector the same as a system fan connector? Thanks!

Yes you can use the 4 pin molex, but you cant control it, it will stay at full blast.
If the motherboard's 3-pin is full well you cant plug anymore then.
Dont know about the last question.

I just found out that the fan had an adapter (silly me). I want the fan to be at a full blast so that the front can bring lots of cool air in the system.
