Hey everyone! quick question. I am going to purchase the MSI Z87 GD-65 Gaming motherboard. I have a cooler master HAF 922 case. My mother board has only 3 case fan connectors, so i plan on running 3 200mm fans using these. The case comes with a 120 mm fan that i would also like to run. The board has 2 CPU fan headers, but i only need to use one. Can i use the second CPU fan header for my case fan?

Yes, that shouldn't be a problem, just make sure it isn't running at a speed that is lower than your CPU fan warning level (usually set in RPM in the BIOS) or you will run into errors. Also, they make MOLEX adapters if you want to go that route.
