PCMech Forums - View Single Post - 3-wire CPU Fan to 4-wire MOBO header?

RRandal · 04-09-2007, 02:13 PM

I bought a Scythe Ninja to replace the stock Intel Core2Duo E6400 HSF on an Asus P5B MOBO. The MOBO has a 4-wire header and the stock Intel HSF had a 4-wire connector, but the Scythe has a 3-wire connector. Can this be connected? It appears that the CPU fan PWM pin from the MOBO won't be used. Is this OK?

Thanks,
Rodney
