I have the cooler master Hyper TX3, with two fans, one of them is connected to the "CPU Fan" on the motherboard, the other one is directly connected to the PSU, I think that the one that is connected to the mother board changes the speed acording the temp, and the one that is connected to the PSU never changes the speed, can this be dangerous?

Thank you.

that's perfectly fine though id have the 1 fan that draws cool air towards the exhaust on the back of the case linked to the psu otherwise if you have it in the reverse all it does is hinder the cooling

e.g diagram

fans labeled //
airflow >>
heatsink [[[

//>>>[[[//> this shows half the airflow is lost as the rear fan is to slow to pull the air towards the back of the case this doesnt cool well.

//>[[[//>>> this shows diffrent you lose nothing due to the rear fan is pulling the air and the slower fan is pushing and the rear sucks the hot air faster.

If both fans move at same speed better cooling but you sacrifice noise which can be very noisy when they are both going full pelt with the rear constantly faster and the one in front slower its a better trade of as like i said doesnt hinder airflow just make sure your rear fan in back of the case allows for good airflow if its stock get a spectre pro fan or aercool silent
