Really Need Help with fans!

[Kornowski]

Hi,

Does anybody know where I plug my case fans into? I have two of them on the side pannel.

There's these coming out of each fan...



Do they go into the power supply?

There's only one Chassis Fan Connector on the lower right corner of the motherboard and none of the connectors wont go into it, I can tell by looking at them...

Thanks

Yes, these are just standard power plugs that you would use for a CD/DVD drive, or NON-SATA hard drive.

if i am correct, the second female adapter is so you can link all of your fans together.

The second connector is basically a "port replicator" if you will. it's basically there so you don't feel like you're "wasting" a whole plug for a piddly little fan. The most common use is, however, to link multiple fans together.

Yep, you can daisy chain a bunch of them. I wouldn't go overboard but unless you have excessive amounts of fans you should be fine with them all chained off 1 connector.
