Hi everyone, 

 

I'm currently building my first ever PC but have run into a problem. I have a Corsair 750d case (airflow edition) and an Asus z270e motherboard. The motherboard has 2 cha_fan sockets but the case has 3 fans. What do I do?

Thanks for the reply Prqnk3d. 

 

The UK amazon doesn't seem to sell that one. Would this one work - https://www.amazon.co.uk/StarTech-com-12in-Power-Splitter-Cable/dp/B005G3010U/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1517609818&sr=1-2&keywords=Case+Fan+Splitter+Cable%2C

 

The fans are both 3 pin female and the motherboard fan socket is a 4 male.

The two top ones I am using for the noctua d15 cpu cooler. I checked the other 2 you pointed out on the left hand side and says h_amp_fan but I don't know what that is =/

you can just use them, there's nothing wrong with them. They just have a special name.
