Hey guys, I know that a three prong case fan can go into a four prong mobo, but I'm kind of concerned about my setup.
In particular, the case fan prings will fit into the mobo prongs either way.
Anyway, what I did was check my mobo manual which shows where the "grounding pin" is (i.e., black) and matched based on that (which also means the "tongue" groove lines up).
That said, I can't tell if the fan is running or not. Is there anyway for me to do a test that will verify this?
Also, is the fan supposed to run all the time or just under certain conditions?
Thanks.
