First of all, I am not an hardware expert.
So, today I bought a heatsink for no reason (I know). So I got home, connected the 4-pin molex to my PSU and I had no idea where to put the 3-pin fan connector thing. I found somewhere on the internet that you can plug it in the 4-pin thing in the motherboard. I did not see how it looks, so I plugged it in something that looks like this but has two rows. I plugged my PSU, and it started spinning. Next, I unplugged the PSU and screwed the heatsink to the case, started my PC, and it worked...for two seconds before stopping. I also smelled smoke, so yeah. Then I tried powering it back on but nothing and unplugged the PSU, I did not try to start it again. What part did fry? Thanks
