Hey guys! Yesterday I changed my case to an Antec DF-35. It includes four fans, and all of them are directly connected to the PSU. So when I start up my PC with the new case I get an error message saying something like:"System fan error, press f2 to prevent damage". This is because my previous 80mm case fan (cute baby fan) was connected the the motherboard, and these are not, because they don't have any case fan connectors like the old one.

So, should I try to get my old case fan into the new case and connect it to the motherboard? Or is there any other way, like a BIOS setting?

You haven't told us what model motherboard you have, making it harder for us to advise you :)

Most motherboards have BIOS settings which let you control speed thresholds for the various fans, one-by-one. You can usually set the fan to "Ignore", and then it won't report the missing fan.
