The Bitfenix Prodigy comes with two built-in fans, but on my motherboard, an Asus H81I-Plus, I could only plug one of the two, I don't see any other slot to plug in the other one.

1. Have I missed it or can I only plug one fan on this mobo?
2. So far I have decided to use the rear fan, is this a good choice or would it be better to use the front one?

Yeah looks like theres only one fan connector on the board. You can get various adapters though. 3pin/4pin to molex would run it off your PSU and at max speed all the time or you can get a female to male Y connector that would allow you to run 2 fans off one port.

If plugging them on the PSU will make them run at full speed all the time, then I think I will go for the splitter. Thanks for the suggestion!

Any opinions about the second question?

It won't matter much which one you decide to use.
