I recently ordered some fans for a new comp that I'm building and just a few really simple questions. I ordered a uv sensitive green fan made by antec and it has two lines coming off of it. One is a really small power connecter, the other one is the regular size power connecter but it only has two prongs in it... Which should I use? Will plugging the bigger one with only two into a jack that holds four prongs kill my psu.? Thanks any help is appreciated.

No, it won't ruin your power supply.

The smaller plug probably is the motherboard kind. Not sure as I've never had a fan that supplied both.

Ditto what Ipno said. I've never seen a fan with 2 tails either.

Is the small pwr connector three,two or one wire..? if three or 2 should be able to just plug onto a mobo header ..if one(usually yellow) its an rpm sensor for the mobo header and the molex(two,three, 4 prong..) is plugged to the case psu harness
