Hi all;

 

long time viewer of the channel, first time poster and PC builder.

 

I am building my first rig and all has gone well except I can’t work out where these dang plugs go. 

 

It’s an NZXT H500i case and I think they are coming off the “smart module”

 

as you can see from the picture there are 3 of them all connected together. Two have 3 pins and one has 4.

 

please help! 

 

Thanks, Mark

You can plug your fans to these connectors. Only one can be used for PWM reading, but they all can be controlled via voltage.

Those are for you to plug fans into to use the i module on the case to control them with if you want.
