My Corsair Carbide 500R case has 4 fans in it. The two front fans and one side fan combine into a harness that is powered by molex and controlled by a switch on the front of the case. The rear fan is already connected to the motherboard.
I decided to unhook the case-controlled three and plug into the fan controller spots on my motherboard (Asus Maximus Hero VII). The motherboard has connectors for two CPU fans and 4 case fans.
But the connectors simply don't seem compatible, which makes no sense to me. Why would they make case fan connectors that can't plug into a motherboard?
Any insights would be appreciated!
