Hi,

So I just bought a new PSU, a corsair cx600m. My old PSU had some cables which connected to my fans but I can't seem to find them with my new PSU. I'm not really good with computers so I'll try to explain.
I only got 6/8pin cables and cables for sata devices with it.
I've got 1 led fan at the front of my case which is not able to go into my motherboard (I'll post pics to imgur with somewhat of an explanation). And I've got 2 fans in my side panel.

Ok so now I'll try to explain. This is coming from my side panel fans (http://imgur.com/aGh1ADJ)
I believe they came out of this adapter thingy when I took my old PSU out: (http://imgur.com/a/akCWR)

Here are some pics from the cables connected to the fron fan, the black/red and black cable go to the front fan: (http://imgur.com/a/BcwIC)

I don't know if this is any use to you guys but any help would be appreciated, I'm not really good with computers. I want to have my fans running because my R9 290 is very hot.

My case: CA-0280 PRO-X MS-Tech CA-0280 PRO-X Furious Longhorn
Thanks!

I have the same PSU. Check to see if the fan you bought comes with a 3 pin to molex adapter. (As shown in picture) if it didn't come with one then you could probably get one for a buck at a local PC shop or off eBay.

Good luck! I just ordered an R9 280 last night aswell. :)
