New MSI mobo 4 pin fan heaers, new fans or adaptor?
Posted: Mon Feb 04, 2013 1:10 pm
I'm right in the middle of a new build, a core i3 3220 (Ivy), MSI ZH77A-G43, Kingston Hyperx Blu 8gb ram...There is one or two 3 pin headers and the rest are all 4 pin. I have several Scythe Karma Flow 2 120mm fans already in this case and more then happy with them...The front fan lead can not reach the closest 3 pin header no matter how I run the cable. Can a 3 pin fan be plugged into a 4 pin header, should I just ditch the fans for something with a 4 pin adapter (what do I search for as I'm not really finding anything but CPU fans)...or just go for the obvious but ugly fix 3 pin to molex adapters. I say ugly as my case really doesn't have the best option for running and hiding wiring.
Sorry in advance if this question has been asked... I haven't built anything new in a long time, and quickly learning things have changed a bit.
