Hi guys, I am building a new pc & am having a case fan problem. All my case fans or 3 pin & my MB only has 4 pin. The 2 front case fans actually have an odd connector, it has 3 male & holes for 3, which means it is not staying hooked up to the MB. Id rather not have to replace all the fans. any1 have this issue? CASE - Corsair 500R MB - Gigabyte z77x-ud3h thanks!
what do you mean by "3 male & holes for 3"? a 3 pin female connector will fit on a 4 pin male connector as the male connector back tab is only 3 pins wide so it is keyed for a 3 pin female connector.
You can buy some 3 to 4 pin adapters for your fans. Most computer shops sell them.Similar to these. I'm not sure what yours look like. http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=284 http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=34_82
the one connecter thats odd looks like this...It has 3 male pins on top, then 3 female holes underneats.. actually, not sure if its a fan, but i have no idea what this is or where it goes...
