Hi guys! I did my first build ever a few months ago, and was fairly pleased with it, with the exception that the processor zone temperature seemed rather high. So I decided to remove the default intel heatsink for my Core 2 Duo and instead purchased a Zalman CNPS9700 LED. While it is compatable with the socket, there is one small problem: the intel fan has a four pin power supply (the board's CPU FAN is four pins) whereas the Zalman is a three pin. I have a free three pin nearby (for the rear fan power supply, which is not needed with the way I've set up my antec case).
Would it be safe to plug in the three pin zalman into the four pin mobo? Or should I instead plug it into the rear fan three pin and adjust the speed manually?
Thanks
