So I have reason to believe my CPU fan is gone since my motherboard keeps telling CPU fan error and I can look inside and see the thing isn't moving I also suspect the motherboard's onboard fan controller is going since it either can't manage the fan speeds anymore or all the fans are going and thats a total of 4 chassis fans which seem to continue to run regardless of the CPU fan's problem.
I bought this fan controller http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811992005
But found out later it can't fit mini PWM connectors without cutting part of the connector and I've spent over $100 dollars already on the fan controller and cpu fan and rush order/overnight cause I need them asap.
So my question is how do I modify the connector to fit and is it safe to do so?
Oh I also purchased this fan. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181039&ignorebbr=1 to replace the cpu fan on my Hyper Evo 212. I tried to monitor the fan speeds on chassis and cpu fans in CMOS but they seemed low I tried also to look at the voltages and they all seemed fine however the computer froze soon after displaying the numbers but that's a old problem I've had with the Crosshair V Formula's CMOS.
Also I was wondering if it's safe to plug my CPU Cooler's fan into a 4 pin PWM port other then CPU Fan port which it is currently hooked into. The motherboard is a ASUS Crosshair V Formula running the 990FX chipset and the CPU Cooler is a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo and the default fan that came with it.v Cause if I can plug the CPU fan into another port and make it work I can cancel the fan I already ordered and recoup some of my money.
