Case Fan Connectors?

[Dante Wolfe]

Hello Again, In my previous post I mention I have a Asus x99 Delux Motherboard. Which to me is very sexy in its White coating and I also have a Corsair Graphite 600T(white) Case. So together it makes a perfect combination. Orginally I was going to build with a asus x99 Rampage Vi and a Casmos case which would of been even better but too expensive anywho. my issue now is My case has a fan controller. but I don't know where entierly I plug them into.. Do I plug them straight into my motherboard? cause I cant connect them to the fans I have since they're both female connectors. My motherboard does come with a extra Fan card but what would be the order of it or how would I put this together?

I'm not familiar with the 600t fan or the x99 board, perhaps I can still be helpful.

 

How many fans do you have, and are they PWM fans?  PWM fans use the small 4 pin connector, and the benefit is that if you plug them into your motherboard, you can use software to control the fan speed.  If they are not PWM fans, I suggest trying to figure out how to use your 600t's fan controller (check the manual for directions?).  

 

I'm guessing the motherboard fan card is just a PWM splitter, in case you have more fans than connection ports.

The fan controller connectors in the case have little caps to stop them shorting out when they're not used, make sure you remove them if you want to use the fan controller in the case, you plug the fans into the cables that lead into the fan controller and then plug the molex into your PSU. DO NOT PLUG THE FAN CONTROLLER CONNECTORS INTO YOUR MOBO!
