I just installed an Antec true power Psu and there was a 3-pin connector which had a small tag on it with words typed'PSU Fan monitor connector'.
I plugged it into my mobo.
I want to know how I can utilize this small feature.

It is basically a plug that allowes stuff like your bios to read the psu fan speed and such and detect if there is a failure or not. You can get programs like SandraSoft to tell you about yout PSU fan speed and stuff, but other than that, it isn't a big deal for you. It is mainly used to just to tell how fast the fan is spinning and if there is a fan failure or not.
