Enermax and Kr7A

[ShinSa]

I just got my Enermax 350w and i love it but i was wondering where to connect the fan header on the mobo among 5 differnt fan headerson the ABIT. The one designed for CPU and case fan is the only one that monitors fan rotation speed but the mobo has a seperate header just for the power supply that does not monitor fan speed. So which one should i plug into since the powersupplys fan speed is controlled by mobo.
The Case fan header w/ monitor or PSU fan header w/o monitor??

That connector that comes from your PS has only one wire, correct? The power supply itself powers the fan, not the mobo.

It doesn't matter to the board or the PS which header you plug into. As long as you remember that when you see "CASE FAN SPEED" on the Via Hardware Monitor, that it REALLY means "PS fan speed" you're good to go.

BTW, the motherboard doesn't control the speed of the fan in your powersupply. THe fan is thermostatically controlled. I.E. The PS has a temp sensor inside. The hotter it gets, the faster the fan spins.

So, unless you really have a boner about wanting to know the speed of the fan in your PS, don't bother plugging it in at all.
