hi

 

planning to buy these fans http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-SP120L-120mm-PWM-Fan/dp/B00GBJGUYO/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0

 

but Idk if it can fit on my mobo

Get a fan hub o fan spillter which are cheaply found on ebay or amazon

You weren't going to mount he fans ON YOUR MOBO.. were you? Because no, that won't work.

 

But you MOBO does have the correct fan headers, to plug in power.

Note that I only saw two fan headers on it, so if you already have two (including a CPU fan), you're out of luck (unless I missed a header)

4 pin is fine with that fan, it won't have RPM monitoring I believe

Your mobo has only two fan headers, one is probably in use by your CPU cooler, the other one (SYS_FAN) is most likely free, and it is PWM ( it has 4 pins but that notch that hold plug in place is compatible with 3 pin fan as the one you linked, so it will work and it will just not use PWM, so either it will run at full speed or it will be controlled by mobo by manipulating voltage, if you want to plug more then one additional fan you probably need some spliter or adapter so you can use molex or sata power connector

You'd need an adapter and it would only run at one speed (full speed, by default, though you can get ANOTHER adapter to have it run slower)

[Mr_KoKa]

To connect third one, you would need adapter like molex to fan or sata to fan header. Or a splitter.

oh ok2. thanks sir

okay, so its okay to buy this fan? even though my mobo has 4 pins, i can still stick in the fan even it has only 3 holes?

Yes PWM fans (4pin) will work on 3 pin DC voltage control but may have a more limited controllable range mainly the low end where it cannot go to as low of an RPM as on PWM.
