Hello, last night I looked into my PC to clean it and I noticed my front fan wasn't connected, it was going when its on, I checked the cables and its just hanging out of the zip tie. Its not connected to the motherboard either. How is it running? :??:

Connected to the PSU maybe?
Thats weird most fans only have 1 connector.

I don't really think so, I got a PSU with Cables connected internally in the PSU unlike the ones today which are connected outside it, my PSU is 420w.

My guess is there is a cable you dont see, or there is a lot of positive airflow in the case.

Your right! LMAO. When I was replacing my case with a Raidmax Super Helios I found 2 cables going into the PSU. I was thinking that the strip of molax plugs were suppose to connect somewhere to make the fan work, now I realise that I can have 4 fans.
