Wiring fans

[waynegman]

I picked up a new case, my first build in 15 years. I was told the 3 fans do not plug into the mobo. I'm running an i7920 with a 5770 GPU. I have a huge 1000wt modular PSU. I'm wondering how to add the two 120 fans on the door *AND* plug these fans into the motherboard. I say this because I assume its a good thing to have your fans monitored and controlled by the MoBo.

1. Should I try and get all these fans on the MoBo?

2. Should I wired these 2 extra fans in series or parallel.

3. Given this possible rewiring should I just rewire all the fans.

4. Any special connectors or tips on this task?

1) I would not try and run all your fans from the MOBO, there is no need for it.

2) If both are on the door, I would run them in a series over parallel.

3) No... Your current wiring should be just fine.

4) I recommend an adpator like this to hook the fans to your motherboard.... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812201009
