2 Pin CPU Fan Header?

[Lil_Uzi_Per-Vert]

I have a mobo but the cpu fan header is 2 pins. Where can I find a fan for this? It's an LGA 1155 motherboard.

I don't think that's a fan header, it's probably a jumper which you can short to change settings. A fan header has 3 or 4 pins.

Are you sure?  I've never seen that, even on really custom PCs its usually at least three and usually four.

Do you have a photo of the motherboard or specifics on what make and model it is?

It says FAN_CPU by the ram slots but the ports aren't like normal fan headers. Two have 5 and plastic borders all around it.

Can't really tell which header you're pointing to, can you circle it

Yup, its Dell, looks like they use a completely proprietary 5 pin socket for this particular model.  Its why these boards are dirt cheap on eBay as they can't really be used except in the original Dell case, or some serious hacking.

Fits fine in my Dell vostro 260 which supports micro atx variations. Thanks though
