I'm skeptical about buying certain keyboards because I keep thinking the CHA fans on a PC case are 4 pin or 3 pin. Some motherboards come with 1 x 4 pin and 2 x 3 pins and others just have 3 x 4 pins. Someone explain.
Update
I want to put in a ASrock Z87 Extreme4 into a Corsair 500R. I'm not sure if all of the fans will work.

I made the stupid mistake of getting an Intel board for my Haswell build. I LOVE Intel for their CPUs, but hell would freeze over before I bought another Intel motherboard. They are ceasing to make motherboards after the Haswell line anyway. It's a service to us all for them to cease production of...


Asus and Corsair are two names that I trust. Whenever I have the opportunity, those are two brands that I'm always going to choose. Are they worth the extra money? Your bet your sweet @$$ they are. LOL To me they are anyway. When something works, go with it! And neither have ever left me disappointed. Good quality IS worth the extra cost.
