Hi Everybody,
Well i'm sure evrybody here in the overclocking section has thier case full of fans cooling thier precious babies but unlike you, Compaq doesn't believe in case fans so the workstation i have has absolutely no cooling other than heat sinks (now I know theres gonna be tons of people exasperated on how crazzy i am but the computers been working fine for quite a few years) So, I am not at all knowlegeable about fans (though not really a science i guess (exept for airflow)), anywho i am getting about 3 from a friend and need a place to plug them in. I've found the plug that says chasis fan but there are 2 others that look the same and wantede to know if i could use.
This is my Mobo, I arrowed where the plugs in question are (middle left is the chasis fan one)
This is the top 2. #1 is the marked one but i think the upper could be used also as it looks almost the same
This is the bottom one (in between the red and upper black plug) It isn't marked but it looks the same as the other.
Those are the only ones i can find but the cpu fan is also open. Could that be used to power and 80mm fan or just the small ones?
Thanks
