Corsair Carbide Series 300r Case, want LED front panel 140mm fans. Need help!

NotsogoodwithPCs · Sep 18, 2015

Hello everyone

I have a Corsair Carbide Series 300r and would love to install some of those neat LED fans to the front panel of my case.

Currently I'm looking at the Corsair Air Series (White) As i'm going for a white/blue scheme. I was wondering if my MoBo had the right CHAfans for it though. It's a AsRock H97m Pro4 (mATX).

Would I run into any possible issues or it's simply a matter of plugging them in onto the Mobo and mounting them. Thanks everyone

- 2 x Chassis Fan Connectors (1 x 4-pin, 1 x 3-pin)
- 1 x Power Fan Connector (3-pin)

So since those Corsair fans are 3 pins I would only be allowed to instal one? Or what exactly are you saying

System fans in yellow , Red CPU fans:

the four pin fan connector is used for pmw fans that use two pins to control fan speed. if your going top use it try using a 4 pin led pmw fan. it let the mb stop the fan if the temp are low or slow it down so it dead silent. if a 3 pin fan is used on 4 pin fan header you dont get any speed control out of that fan.

You can use all the yellow for 3 pins.

So because these fans are 3 pin I would only be able to use one? Since you said I have 1 (3 pin) and 1 (4 pin)?

Oh okay so this would be possible

But more then likely only 1 in the back of my case and 1 in the front correct?

NotsogoodwithPCs · Sep 18, 2015

Sorry I'm major noob at this. I was just wondering, due to what types of fan connections I have, would I be able to only mount one in the front panel of my case and one in the back? Or would I be able to mount 2 in the front and one in the back of the case where the standard case fans are considering these are 3 pin connectors. :/

You can also use a splitter if you need more connections.

I use these.

Thank you so much, the splitter method really seemed to ease the headache off of a noob like myself.

And volts don't come into play with these right? Like any splitter among those lines would simply be compatible?

Can I ask you something different I could really use some help with?

I have this extremely annoying issue where I'm getting black screened, sound loop, and my monitor ends up saying no input but my tower stays on.

I'm yet to figure this issue out but you seem very much aware on these sorts of matters and I would love some assistance to fix my new rig :/
