Corsair cx600

[anonnymous]

Hey guys i'm working on my first build and i have a corsair cx600 power supply. I also have the cooler master storm scout case. The 3 fans on the case have these 2 and 4 gold pin connector and i don't know how to connect it to the power supply. Am i connecting it to the wrong spot?

The 4-pin connector fans have the capability of speed control when plugged into the appropriate motherboard fan headers. These headers will be marked 'Sys_fan' or 'Cha_fan'. The heatsink fan must be plugged into the header marked 'CPU_fan'.

The 2-pin fans can be connected directly to the Molex plug through an adapter cable that comes with the motherboard or PSU. Another option is to connect these fans to a fan speed controller.

Here is one example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811999172&cm_re=speed_controller-_-11-999-172-_-Product

There are other fan speed controllers available at Newegg and elsewhere.

Ok in that link the last picture: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ImageGallery.aspx?CurImage=11-999-172-03.jpg&Image=11-999-172-05.jpg%2c11-999-172-04.jpg%2c11-999-172-06.jpg%2c11-999-172-03.jpg%2c11-999-172-02.jpg&S7ImageFlag=0&WaterMark=1&Item=N82E16811999172&Depa=0&Description=ZALMAN%20MFC1%20Plus-S%20Silver%206%20Channel%20Multi%20Fan%20Controller

Does the white connector with the 4 silver/gold looking things plug into the PSU or the motherboard "sys fan?"

The large 4-pin connector is generally known as the "molex connector" and plugs into the power cable coming from the PSU. Examine the PSU cables and you will see what I mean.

Also read the instructions that came with the PSU. Usually, these plugs go in only one way. Do not force anything.

Alright and the molex connectors powers the fans? I also have a molex connector with only 2 pins. I still plug it in the 4 pin on the PSU cable?
