My new Corsair 750W PSU doesn't have an ATX CPU fan power connector on it? Do I need it all? I have an Intel DH55TC Motherboard and it does indeed have a plug on it for the ATX fan power connectors. Is the regular ATX connector enough to power the motherboard and the fan or do I still need the fan connector? If so, are there any converters I can get?
 
I'm not sure what you mean by ATX fan connectors, I've never heard of such a thing. The motherboard has two connections from your power supply a 24pin for main power and for this motherboard a 4 pin CPU power connector. The motherboard has a CPU fan 4pin fan header located next to the RAM sockets on the edge of the motherboard. You have to check the manual to see if it has any additional fan headers. If there are no additional Fan headers you use the 4 pin molex power connectors from the power supply to hook-up the case fans. If the case fans use 3pin or 4pin connectors instead of molex connectors then you need and adapter or you need to change the fans, good luck!

Yeah I meant the 4 pin CPU power header. The PSU I have doesn't have a CPU power header so I'm not sure what to do.
