MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum nForce3 only supports two fans?

[slinky22]

I just bought a MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum nForce3 but I'm worried it doesn't have a way to connect all five of my fans. The manual shows power connectors for cpufan1, sfan1, sfan2, and nbfan1. Am I going to be stuck with only two fans?

Yes, the neo2 'only' has 2 power outputs for additional fans, but your PSU should have at least one or two molex/3 pin power outputs that should do the job.

*edit* and from the five fans you bought, they should have supplied you with some molex to 3pin converters.

So are you saying I can plug the fans into either the PSU or the mobo?

yup. i've got my cpu fan plugged into my motherboard and all 5 of my case fans plugged directly into the power supply.

Does the Antec 430w truepower have enough molex connectors for 5 fans or will I need to buy something else?

You can piggyback the molex connectors so you only have to use one or two from your psu.
