I have two redundant fans! What to do!

[dsweeting]

After 9 months I have only just noticed that I have two redundant fans that aren't plugged in and there doesn't seem to be anywhere on the motherboard to plug them in either.

An oversight by me as it was something I didn't check after going completely on advice from other people on what to get.

It's a shame I wasn't notified at any point that they would be redundant. What should do I do?

It's possible they simply came loose in transit. (this is where you say that the cables are still tied up and were clearly never plugged in..)

The case may have connectors for the fans, that are all joined up to one molex connector that is connected to the PSU. Or is there an adapter on one of the connectors on the PSU for the fans?

They look neatly tied up, can't see anywhere for them to plug in. (picture is on it's side)

Wow I'm very surprised that's happened :\

PM me your order number and I'll look into getting a molex connector sent out to you.
