Comment: I just installed 2 new case fans. My question is how can I hook them both up to the 3 pin fan connector on the MB?

Reply: (edit)Hi, Irv. Although there are ways to do what you want, I would suggest an alternative. Check www.cyberguys.com and other online computer parts resellers and find the proper adapter to attach the fans power connectors to one of your power supply molex connectors. I would never want to overburden a motherboard for fear that permanent damage may result.

Reply: (edit)And on top of that, it's only going to be able to read one of the fans tach leads. It can't read and report both. I picked up a Cooler Master Aerogate II for $39.00USD. It has 4 fan control channels and 4 temp sensors. This thing just rocks... I may be crazy, but I'm not stupid...

Reply: (edit)Thanks for the info. I think what I will do is hook one up to the MB and one to the Power supply connector and not get to fancy.
