I've been getting advice over here...

No comments on this thread though. That's my question. Same question for here.

I've got my heatsink fan plugged into the mobo cpufan1 connection. No problems.
I'd rather have the OS/BIOS control the two case fans (one in front, one in back), so I don't need to use the tower cables that allow a switch up front to physically control low-med-high fan settings on those fans.
I'm wondering about connecting the two case fans to the mobo though. The mobo connections for systemfan1 and 2 have four pins. My case fans have three pins. Is it safe to plug a 3-pin case fan into a 4-pin mobo connection. Here's a pic of how I've got it set up now.

Is that ok? Is it safe?
