what?



ok, my psu can connect to the fan. but is that it? do i just connect the fan to the psu and then my computer will control the fan speeds and stuff via the psu? cause from what i can see, theres no place on the mobo where this can plug in
there are two prongs, they are both pretty large, 1 has 4 pins and the other just has 4 holes.
someone....please help me!!!!!!
The 4-pin molex plugs into your PSU, the 3 pin with only one yellow wire can plug into the motherboard, but just to report the speeds. Those fans are just one speed, the only way to adjust them would be to get a fan controller and hook them up to it.

THERE IS NO 3 pin WITH ONLY ONE YELLOW WIRE!!!!!
Ok, theres 1 4 pin connector that goes to the psuthen theres a connector that looks like the first one could plug into it. as in, it has holes, not pins. so do i just plug this into the psu, and thats it?

Why don't you add some pictures so we know what you are talking about. OMG, I just looked at the picture of the fan on newegg, the plug allows you to plug that fan up to the PSU and then daisy chain other fans to it's plug if you do not have enough connectors from the PSU.

oh ok...so my fan connects to the psu, and nothing else. ok....cool. thanks. i thought i was going to have a panic attack there
[QUOTE=''REforever101'']someone....please help me!!!!!![/QUOTE] Installing a psu really isn't all that hard. you might be a little stressed and overthinking and worrying a bit to much about somthing that isnt that difficult. dont worry it happens to the best of us. just take a breather google your problem and you will most certianly find an in depth guide to your fan problem. anyways the plugs you are looking for are on your mobo if you can send me a pic of your mobo ill be able to locate them for you
