Enermax Fan Monitor Control Problem

[kbieltz]

The 8 cm exhaust fan on the PSU won't spin.
Enermax FAQ says that happens if the 3 pin
housing for Fan Monitor Connector(FMC) is not hooked
up to the PWR_FAN connector on the M/B.

I can't figure out
how to hook up the Enermax EG465P-VE(FCA) to
the 3 pin male PWR_FAN connector on my
ASUS P4B533 M/B. The power supply came with
an extra 3 pin male connector that I can
plug into one of the power supplies 8 peripheral
connectors but that doesn't do me any good.

The 3 pin housing FMC that my PSU is supposed
to have sounds like it would be a 3 pin female
connector.

Am I missing a connector from my retail box
for the PSU?

there is a 3 pin connector coming from the psu, plug that into the adaptor and plug the adaptor into one of the molex plugs on the psu.

how do you shoot the devil in the back? what happens if you miss? -verbal

I don't have a 3 pin connector coming from my PSU.
I do have an adapter that came with the PSU to
change one of the peripheral connectors into a
3 pin male connector. Am I missing a connector
or adapter that should have come with my EG465P-VE(FCA)
PSU?

is your computer in suspend mode? that psu has a funtion to turn that fan off in suspend mode.

I'm building a new system and all I have connected
are the PSU, motherboard, CPU, cooler, Power Switch,
and VGA. How do I tell if it's in suspend mode? And
doesn't the PWR_FAN connector on the M/B need to be
connected to the PSU which I can't do because I can't
find a PSU connector that looks like it would fit in
the PWR_FAN connector on the M/B.

I looked harder starting at where the wires come out of the
PSU and found it!!! It was bundled up and brown and I didn't
see it.
Thanks for you help
