Proud as punch dad signing in!!
My 15 year old is in the throes of building his first system (just waiting on the HDD to be delivered!!).
My question is the connecting of the 4 fans in the case to the motherboard.
Each of the fans will link to the 4 pin PSU (MOLEX??) connectors but the seems to be nowhere on the motherboard to connect them - except - one of the four pin PSU connectors has the appropriate MoBo fan connector linked to it.
My question is:
a) Should I piggy back all the fans to one PSU connector and connect the linked cable to the MoBo (presumably either to 4 pin CHA_Fan1 or two) or should I run the fans off seperate PSU connectors with just one linked to the Mother Board.
Thanks.
PS - You've been a great resource over the years.
PPS - It's my first build too :-|
PPPS - Spec includes
*Core i5-3570K
*Asus HD 7870 AMD Radeon DirectCU II Graphics Card
*Corsair CX750 Builder Series CX 750W ATX/EPS 80 PLUS Bronze PSU
* Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 8GB 1600MHz CL9 DDR3
