Hi Guys

So two days ago I assempled my first desktop pc, by myself. It is up and running but I made some shortcuts in order to get it finish that day.
The Fractal design case came with 3*3-pin case fans but only the rear and top exhaust fans are connected via the asus mobo's 4-pin fan connectors.
The front intake fan is NOT connected, neither is the fan controller on the case (5volt, 7v and 12v).
Hoping someone has experience to help me out since I would like to use all of the fans, and the fan controller on the case. The PSU is a Corsair cx600m

Parts are listed in link below.

Hi guys

I solved this myself. The problem was that I had connected the case fans to the motherboard, but that was a mistake. The case fans' he-connectors/sticks should instead be put together with the front of the cases she-connectors because they are the plug-ins for the cases' own fan controller. the 4-pin he stick that was also from the front of the case was then connected to the power-supply via an cable (a 6-pin ---to--> a lot of 4 big pined she-connectors, on the same cable) that came with the power-supply.

hope this helps someone else, Cheers
