Antec 900 case fan wiring & some help

[tinkooram]

Hi,

I am building my first build, I need help in connecting the case fan's.

1. Antec 900 comes with four fans. I have a Antec PSU TP3-650 with two "fan only" connections. How do I connect the remaining two fans & other fan that I may add to the side of the case.

2. In the PSU there is blue & black wire (I beleive it is Fan RPM Monitor) where do connect this on the motherboard? In the motherboard there are 3 fan connections(SYS_FAN, SYS_FAN_1 & SYS_FAN_2) one is 4 pin & others are 3 pin. These are the PSU Connections

3. This may be a dumb question, do I connect 4-pin ATX12V to the motherboard and 24-pin ATX12V connection also to the motherboard?

4. The case has IEEE 1394 connection but my MB doesn't have this, how do I make this connection to work, do I have to buy IEEE 1394 card?


Any help is appreciated.

This is my build list:

GA-P35-DS3L/S3L - motherboard
Antec 900 case
Antec TP3-650 PSU
Intel core 2 duo E6750 processor
G-Skills 2GB(2X1GB) DDR2 800 RAM
Radeon HD 2900PRO - Graphics card
Viewsonic 22" HD Monitor
WD 250GB SATA - HD
Samsung 20X DVD SATA
Windows Vista 32-bit home premium
Planning to add another 320gb SATA-HD later..


Thanks.

1)All of the fans in the Antec 900 are TriCools powered by standard 4-pin molex peripheral power connectors. You can plug them into each other (They are double-sided) and then into the "fan-only" molex connectors.
2)Any of the 3-pin fan connectors. Doesn't matter.
3) Yes, but for your motherboard, use the 8-pin ATX12v and the 24-pin ATX12v. You won't use the 4-pin ATX12v.
4)You'll need the IEEE 1394 card.

But my motherboard doesn't have a 8pin connector it has just 4pin ATX_12V connector.

Like PCTC2 said. I piggy backed the molex fan connectors, see upper right part of pic.

you're right. I was thinking of the P35-DS3P. Yeah, so the 4-pin and 24-pin ATX power connectors then.
