PWM fan

[jasonn20]

I have been thinking about replacing the 120mm on my xigmatek dark knight.
I would like a high cfm fan that is PWM. I found this fan in newegg but is it safe to hook up to my motherboard??

^^ Thats a 4pin fan so, just make sure you have a 4pin mobo header

Actually it is alright to use a 4-pin fan on a 3-pin plug. Just be sure you plug it in correctly and it should function just fine.

Yes, I have a 4pin fan header I did not how much amp it can handle though.. i imagine this fan is 1amp.

most are less than 0.5 amps

Usually, the fan pins are fool-proof because the wire end has a little slot for a piece of plastic on the mobo.

Yes I am aware on how to plug it in but was asking if it was safe since this is a 130cfm fan and probably high amp. I do not want to burn up my fan header.

Are there there any other reconmended 120mm pwm fans that have good static pressure?

That delta is a bit pricy... maybe a Coolermaster R4 or something?
