PC case fan problem :(

[alexoo]

Hello I just opened my pc for xmas and every thing is fine but im stuck that the pc case fan for The PCS Maelstrom T900 Case is not connected to anything. Its just the cable for it. The cables are black and red. Please can anyone tell me where I connect them? Or am I stupid?

The cables should either connect to the motherboard or a molex thing etc..

 

[alexoo]

There is no where to connect them on the motherboard

OK. Look for a white connector that should look be connected to other cables. Look at other fans and see where their cables lead to.



Do you have the white molex in the picture? Its in the middle on the left.

Like the person above suggested, check the mobo for any fan connector slots. If there are none, check in the welcome pack for a molex fan connector. Should be a white conector with a three pin connection hanging off. That's what mine looks like anyway. If you have a fan controller, plug it into the back of that. They usually disconnect the case fans before transit so they don't become damaged I believe if you don't have the molex connector, I'm sure pcs will send you one, or you can get one off amazon for like £3

dont worry, its an easy solution, if ya done it already

are we on about about the large 20cm side fan? If so it will either have
1.a three pin female plug such as this

or a molex connector something like this.

now if its a small 3 pin female plug, sslot into the motherboard, what motherboard do you have? have a look on at the motherboard and see if you can see three little pins sticking out, that the female plug would sit nicely on.

If its a molex there should be a power cable that you could connect it too. Unless you added the fan controller?

either into a white molex cable, or into a black power cable coming from the psu.
