Motherboard: https://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-z97prousb31ac

I have three fans to hook up and here are the parts they look like
http://puu.sh/kprqD/3ea6a64488.jpg (no. 1 and 2)
http://puu.sh/kprrF/1444d87796.jpg (no. 3)

So I plugged this into channel fan

and plugged no 1 and 2 into it like so

no 3 still is not plugged in but when I turned it on, non of the fans work except my CPU fan (which I won't even include in the post since it's working)

Any ideas? There's no 3 prong pins on the board to plug no 3 into anyways.

Thanks!

Probably not enough to power those 3 fans for that 1 source.

yeah, use the power supply connectors, not the board connector. Or just use one fan per connector from the mobo.

Umm...that board has 4 chassis fan connectors and 2 CPU fan connectors.

Were you thinking you couldn't plug the 3 pin fan plug into the 4 pin mobo connectors?

Well, you can. :biggrin:

Plug each chassis fan into a chassis fan connector. Look closely, you'll see that the 3 pin fan plug will fit the 4 pin mobo connector. The mobo connector was designed for both 3 and 4 pin connectors.

In the BIOS set these 3 pin fans to DC control, and set the CPU fan to PWM control.

This right here.

I'd be very surprised if that board did not have connectors in several spots for fans, you can put a 3 pin fan on a 4 pin mobo connector.
