Hi so on my dell alienware x51 i gutted it and now have the motherboard in a new case and it works just fine, when it was in my old case they had two very small fan connected to the motherboard, i can still get to one of the fan connectors the other is covered up by my very large graphics card, but i might still be able to use it. should i use them or keep them straight to my power supply like i have them now. i'm not sure if they will hold enough amperage or my 120 mm fan and my 80 mm fan. so figured i would ask i plan on latter down the road replacing the motherboard with something better as soon as i get my amazon card paid down enough.
On my dell x51 motherboard which i have in a new case it has too fan hook ups should i use them?

That should be fine as long as the airflow is good and not obstructed... you could install HWMonitor and check temps after the PC has been running for a while just to make sure the temperatures aren't getting extremely high
