Some fans draw too much current to be used on the 3 pin fan header. If this
is so you can burn out the traces that supply the fan terminals. I have some fans that draw way too much current but were supplied with the 3 pin connector anyway. If I used it I would be asking for trouble, as the designed current draw of the fan is well over three times the spec that the M/B manufacturer gives as "allowed maximum current" of connected fans. -- Regards, Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User Quote from George Ankner: If you knew as much as you think you know, You would realize that you don't know what you thought you knew!

But you can buy a wiring harness adaptor that lets the fan run off a Molex
connector from your PSU and still attach a lead to the fan header so that it can read the fan speed. peter -- "Those are my principles. If you don't like them I have others."

Obviously! But the O/P is asking about the M/B connectors - not molex
connectors. I explained WHY the M/B connectors may not be working. -- Regards, Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User Quote from George Ankner: If you knew as much as you think you know, You would realize that you don't know what you thought you knew!
