 Thread : System Fan Connector -GA P35C DS3R
 
Profile: newbie

I have a question on the SYS_FAN2 connection on the GA-P35C-DS3R motherboard. I have a three pin plug on a Scthe S-Flex fan that I would like to use as the system fan. However the motherboard has a 4-pin which is arranged in a way that suggests one may plug in a 3-pin but I am not sure. The manual has the allocation as follows:
Pin 1 - GND
Pin 2 - +12V/Speed Control
Pin 3 - Sense
Pin 4 - Speed control

There is also the flat plug holder on the mb that is centred with Pins 1-3 (to make it possible for a 3-pin?).
Thanks.
