Hi Tech Gurus, need an advise. I am using a Intel Xeon CPU and the fan power connector can be connected directly to motherboard or it also can be connect to the PC power supply (thru a adapter). I am hearing different opinion out there which option is a better choice. Or there is no difference at all. Can someone here share their opinion on the above.
but if u plug into your powersupply your motherboard might give u a warning saying the CPU fan isnt spinning and will give u a boot error
but u can disable it in BIOS ...
also your motherboard will control the speed of your fan , u know temp control n such
-when plugged into the PSU the fan is at a non adjustable state
im guessing u have a server soo i think u dont worry about noise
in my opinion i dont think there will be a difference
