question on where to plug-in fans?
i am planning on drilling out a few holes in my case for some fans. (1-120mm, 2-92mm) but im a noob with building comps.
and i wanted to know... where do i plug the fans in at? and also should i get a particular kind? im looking for moderatly good quality and air flow, for cheap. THANX. |

Small fans might come wired to hook to your mother-board using a 3-pin plug, but I think thats mostly for 40mm, 60mm, and slow 80mm fans. The bigger ones simply draw too much pwer to be hooked to the mother-board so I they should come pre-wiered to hook directly to the PSU.

Yes, 4-pin connecors are, er, connectors with 4-pins. They'll be coming from the power-supply, same as what you've plugged into your hard-drive/CD-ROM.
