I don't know if this is common on PSU's now or it's just I've never noticed it, but coming out of my Antec Aria's PSU is a blue/white, seemingly 2-pin fan header. What am I supposed to do with this? Is it meant to be plugged into the motherboard? Any ideas/knowledge greatly appreciated!

My psu has a similar connector. Someone told me it was to power the one fan in the psu. Not sure though.

Plug the connector into a motherboard fan header. That will allow you to monitor (and maybe adjust?) fan speed using a monitoring program (ie. HWDoctor or MBM).

Thanks for the heads up on that. Yeah I KNOW it can't be to actually power the fan, because the fan comes on just fine as it is. I just didn't want to plug it into something and have disaster ensue. I guess I'll just leave it be for now, and next time I install a component, maybe connect it then.
