Hey guys, I'm hoping for some help here. I bought a super ghetto case from my local shop for twenty bucks, and I've been scratching my head trying to figure out how the previous owner had the fans set up.
the front panel has some weird analog dials which are supposed to show the case temp, fan speed, and "HDD" (speed?). coming out of the bottom of the front panel, there are various connectors: a 2-pin "HDD LED" daisychain/passthrough, what I assume is the thermometer, a male 3-pin, and a female 3-pin:
the case fans have only 4-pin molex connectors, and also included was a 3-pin male to molex adapter:
So, help me understand what's going on here. One possibility is that the front panel acts as a fan controller and automatically adjusts the voltage that it passes to the case fans based on its temperature reading.
Another possibility is that the front panel is supposed to connect to one of the 3/4-pin fan connectors on the motherboard.
In either case, I think i'm in need of a female-to-female 3 pin, maybe another 3-pin to molex adapter.
Anyone here have some knowledge on how these work? thanks in advance!
