Hello

I am currently putting together my new pc and i've bought Corsair 500R and some noctua nf-p12 fans, i am trying hard to figure out how to replace the front fans, i've taken out the stock fans and installed the nf-p12's but i am not sure where to connect the cables? can anyone help out, never tried changing fans before :(

Does it matter which fan slot on the mb? Except the cpu fan slot of course. I don't think the cable is long enough the psu though, how about the fan controller on the front panel does it only works with the stock fans?

I did try that but it appear that the 3pin on the nf-p12 is too big to fit in the 3pin connector to the panel, so i decided to go back to the stock fans in front and moved 1 nf-p12 to the rear and 1 in the top, unless i somehow can make it fit in the connector
