How is fan power connector S_FAN1 used? It's much too small to use with the rear case fan that came with the In-Win case. I understand that the tiny fan power connector C_FAN1 is used for the CPU fan and have used it that way.

Aren't case fans run off the power supply? Thanks for any response provided.
 
Which type of fan is preferred by those who understand this stuff? Is it better to run a case fan off the power supply or an appropriate 12V fan off the motherboard.
 
at most, I'd plug a CPU fan or a video card fan into a motherboard.

NO WAY would I use the mobo to plug in a case fan. no way.
 
The only valid reason I could think of would be to monitor the fan speed.....I would also be careful of plugging certain CPU fans into the header, as well....the fan on the FOP-38 has been known to burn out many a header......
 
BallGame, the mobo is probably the most important piece of equipment for system stability. Using the mobo as a source for power can only drain power from other components, if it is a bigass fan like a case fan or a beast like the Delta 7k RPM
 
Sorry if I seem to "not know" but "where" do you plug case fans into the PSU (Enermax Eg351VP)& how many can you use ?
 
To plug case fans into PSU, they must have the 4-pin leads and you can just plug them to any of the connectors running from the power supply....same connectors used to power your CD-ROM, hard drives, etc...
