Use Molex or 3-Pin?
Which is the best option? I have one blue LED 120mm fan and one standard 80mm fan in my case. Should I plug them in to the power supply, or plug them into the motherboard. I think plugging them into the motherboard would allow the RPM to automatically adjust, right? Thanks.
Edit: Another question I'd like to add: I have front audio ports on my case that I'd love to use. There are 3 headers for them. One labeled AC'97, one labeled HD audio, and the other is just a set of single connectors. I think you choose whatever one you want. I think I need AC'97, right? My motherboard specifications say something about AC'97.

Thanks. The manual recommends I use the HD audio header to "avail of the motherboard's high-definition audio capacity."

Like Cricket, I never plug fans into the mobo, opting instead to connect all of them directly to the PSU via molex connectors.
