so to say the least, i have some fan problems. i have a CM Storm scout (basic, with side window) and an ASROCK H77 PRO4/MVP motherboard. now, just today i replaced all the case fans (1 120mm on the back, 1 140mm on the top, 1 140mm on the front) with 4 others. they´re all from "nanoxia", and they´re supposed to be quiet and glow green. however so far, that hasn't been so successful 
ive got 2 of these: one in the back, and one in the lower part of window- (1300 RPM Model)
http://www.nanoxia-world.com/product/5/10/Deep%20Silence%20120%20mm
and 2 of these: one in top and one in front- (1400 RPM model)
http://www.nanoxia-world.com/product/5/9/Deep%20Silence%20140%20mm
so yeah. looks pretty solid. they´ve got noctuas stats for 3rd the price...buuuut, heres the problem: they´re all equipped with 3-pin connectors, and the previous fans were all 2 pin+power connected. the 2 pin to the front panel (theres a switch to turn off/on light) and the power to god knows where...the top one never started, dont know why :-/
so i connected all of the new ones to the motherboard...which was very limited on fan headers (check stats): http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H77%20Pro4MVP/index.us.asp?cat=Specifications
when i do this, they all blow, and they all work, but none of them light up green and they all seem to make much noise at 1050rpm...they promised 14.2Db(a) at 1300rpm. or maybe thats just my stock 1155 intel cooler? when i put my ear to them it sure sounds like nanoxia´s guilty.
okay, so i clearly need help
i have only 2 spare fan headers and a second cpu fan header that i can use (i do own a y-cable for one chassis_fan so no problems. but which do i connect to which? a long thread, but i tried my best to keep it short
thanks!
