I am building a new system with a Corsair 500r case and a Asus Z87-Pro mobo. The 2 front fans came connected to a molex connector. If I connect them to the 12 volt from the psu can I still connect it to the motherboard header for control purposes without doing damage to the motherboard? Any help is appreciated.
Thank You,
Tim

Fans connected using a Molex connector cannot be controlled through the motherboard. However, if you still want to control those fans, you can use a fan controller to do so. You will just have two options to do so: manually through a knob or button, or some more expensive fan controllers have an automatic control based on temperature.
