Help with case fan

I have a T2 Zalman Case mini and I don't think my case fan can connect to my Am4 Motherboard Gaming Pro. The case fan has only 3 inserts and I don't see anywhere on my motherboard.

Link for the motherboard? Are you trying to connect the fans to the motherboard or a controller on the case?
If you're talking about the pin count, You can plug a 3 pin fan into a 4 pin header, you just won't have PWM.

 

Fine you want the PSU tier list? Have the PSU tier list: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1116640-psu-tier-list-40-rev-103/

If you only have 4 pin headers you can plug 3 pin fans onto the header.

Just make sure the header is setup as DC voltage control, if it's on 4 pin PWM the fans will only run at full speed without control.

How would I set that up? Would I have to go to the BIOS for that?

@W-L and for the CPU Power do I have to connect both or just one?

It would be within the BIOS or fan control software that comes with the motherboard, for the 4+4 pin CPU (EPS) it needs both connected.

Press the Delete key when booting up the system to enter the bios.

If you want a quick guide to put up while you're building:

I'm using a used hard drive but I didn't clean anything on it.

What's on the drive? If you're installing an OS onto the drive, there should be an option to wipe it during installation.

It doesn't really matter what is on the hard drive

Why bring it up if you didn't think it mattered?

@WoodenMarker don't I have to erase everything on that hard drive in order for the light on the motherboard to turn off?

What light are you referring to?

The data on the drive shouldn't make any difference to how your motherboard lights up. If you want to change the lighting, go into your motherboard settings.
