Hey guys, I have an ATX Antec 900 "http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129021" case that comes with 1 rear fan, 1 top fan, and 2 fans on the front. I have a Asus Z87 Plus "http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131980" and it has 4-pin fan connectors on the motherboard. There is two right above the PCI Express x1 slot, one right above the memory slots and one right next to the LED/PWR SWITCH/RESET SWITCH connectors. The thing is, the top fan is too short to reach to the one above the PCI Express x1. The rear fan fits perfectly into the one above the PCI Express. The one next to the memory slot is connected by the top fan. One of the fans on the front are connected to the one next to the LED/PWR Switch. So it all leaves it to the one 4-pin connector above the PCI Express x1, but the front fan doesn't reach that far. What can I do?

cheapest option. would come in handy as an extension cable of the sorts and also a splitter if u ever want to run another fan somewhere. Only caveat is those fans will run at 100% all the time, unless you change it with a speedfan config profile of the sorts.

the more expensive route

but it will maintain motherboards speed states for the fan, it will vary the speeds like it normally would for a fan connected to the motherboard.
