Hello to all.
Some days ago, after changing some cables, I disconected two molex to 3-pin adapters (these were connected to the PSU), and as they were not very good, the metal pins of the two molex connectors were broken.
Just right now I don't have money to buy two adapters, so I thought on connect the fans that doesn't have adapters in the 3/4 pin headers of the motherboard, but I have some doubts:
My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-F2A88X-D3H, the two fans are an Artict Cooling F12 and a Scythe Katana (I don't remember wich one), and the latter aren't PWM
This is the diagram for the fan headers:
and this, is the configuration of the said motherboard headers under the BIOS:
and my doubts are those:
1 - I've read that I can use 3-pin headers in the ones of 4-pin, that's correct?
2 - The only thing required to plug a 3-pin header in a 4-pin one is to align the notch found in the 3-pin header with the one of the motherboard and the fan will work without any issues?
3 - Check the 2nd image that i've attached to this thread, under "1st/2nd System Fan Speed Control" setting, if I set it to ">>Disabled Allows the fan to run at full speeds" I can plug on those the two non-PWM fans?
4 - The last one doesn't appear after the 1st/2nd (SYS_FAN3, check the first image) and if I see the PIN description, I think that it doesn't have any sort of PWM or voltage control (correct me if I'm wrong, that's what I understand after seeing the connector diagram), because I don't see anything more related to it in the manual; if I plug one fan to it directly (a non-PWM one), the said will work correctly and it wil spin at full speed?
Many thanks for your time.
