I am about to build a new computer ( never done it ) and need some help and explanations as to fan hook up.
My case is an Antec 9000,motherboard Asus M2N32 SLI Wireless Edition.
The fans have a connector with 4 pins on one side and 4 "holes" on the other side.I assume that the 4 pins get
connected to the power supply which delivers 12 volts to turn the fan.
I assume the connectors with the 4 "holes" get connected to the motherboard but I do not understand what the
purpose of that connection is.It seems to me that the fans already have power ( from the power supply ).
I appreciate if you could explain where I am wrong
