My new motherboard has three connectors: CPU, AGP, and Sys. The CPU one seems pretty straight-forwaurd, but I have a question about the other 2.
Oh before we start:
P4 2.66
ATI 9700 AIW
Shuttle AS45GT/R Mobo
Enermax 465W PSU
First, I have two unused connectors, but 4 fans. At the store they have these "Y" connectors for connecting two fans to one connector. Are these any problem? I'm 99.999999999% they are ok, I just wanna check.
Second, my vid card has it own power connect and the fan is connected to the vid card board, thus freeing the one on the MB. This is just like the other ones, right? I could split it off for my other two fans, right?
Sorry to be such a "nervous nelly". Life sure was easier when Dell did all the thinking, but I wouldn't trade my new machine for anything they could offer.
Thank you very much!
