Im just wondering how do you guys connect up so many fans? I have 2 80mm fans right now that have the red/black/yellow wires into a tiny 3 hole connector, and i can connect them onto the mb, but I dont have any more of the slots on the motherboard. I do have an old motherboard, and I was wondering, if i got 8rda+ or nf7-s do those come with my connections on the mb for fans? how do you connect so many fans? I want to get a vantec tornado and possibly a nexus to be able to control all these fans. Also, I have a small fan I ripped off an old geforce2 gts, how can I connect that so I can put it like on the southbridge or something? it's got a black and red wire into a even smaller two hole connector, and the wires are really short.

Thanks

you can but do not normally connect case fans to your mobo. I have three case fans that have four pin power connections just like your harddrive. The three pin connection can only plug into your mobo. Look around for some casefans with four pin connections. I personally like coolermaster fans (have cool color leds)
