side panel fan issue

Go to solution Solved by dfsdfgfkjsefoiqzemnd,

A regular extension cable should do the trick. 

 

Get one that's long enough so you can tape it to the case in a convenient spot.  Then you can plug the fan into the extension cable rather than straight into the motherboard. 

I have a define r4 and I have a question about my cooling... First. Tell me if there are any issues with my airflow

 

1x H100i set to pull on the top

2x 140mm fans (came with case) set as filtered intake from the front. 

1x 120mm cougar fan as filtered intake from the bottom

1x 120mm cougar fan as filtered intake from the side panel

1x 120mm exhaust out the back.

 

If you guys have any tweaks you think I should make to that setup let me know why and what I should change. 

 

My more pressing issue is the side panel fan. Whenever I want to clean out my computer of dust (Usually twice a month or so) I have to physically unplug the side fan from the mobo each time. And I just dont feel like those little pins can handle that too many times. So... does anyone know of an adapter or something that can get me away from unplugging and plugging that fan in all the time?
