Panaflo pins won't fit Epox 8kha+ MB, what do I do?

[sandmanwake]

My panaflo case fans (4 of them) has 2 pin connectors. My MB takes 3 pins, what sort of connectors/adaptors do I need to get them to hook up and where do I get them?

Panaflows don't have a rpm sence wire...but they should be attached to a 3pin female tale none the less. If they aren't you'r gonna have to get some of those 3 pin tales and put the panaflow's 2 wires in them. They are 12v,ground,rpm (which you wont have).

You an either re-tail them making your own connector. Good directions can be found here. Subzeropc Or you can order tails that clip in real easy like. Find them here. pcmods I highly recommend the second option. They clip in and are ready to use.

Simply tear off the one of the legs under the red wire and plug it in like you would with a 3 pin fan. Watch the polarity.

This should take you no more than 10 seconds.

use knife to cut the 2 very small "feet" of the connectors. Connect it the other way (as you already cut them, you can reverse and plug in) with pins 2 and 3.

Ditto. Anything else is extra work. Of course, I believe you'll only have 1 or 2 places within reach to hook up the fans to the MB. If you have more fans to hook up than places you can reach on your MB, you can buy 3 to 4 pin adapters, cut off the leg on the red side, and hook into the adapter. svcompucycle.com has them pretty darn cheap with very low cost shipping.

Cool. Thanks, I'll give the cutting the leg thing a try.
