[QUOTE="Twisted4000, post: 2443535, member: 838002"] Because I'm trying to replace my CPU fan and I have one spare extra case fan... it's the exact same size (80mm x 80mm x 25mm) but it doesn't use the 4-pin female connector like the CPU fan. Instead it uses the female 3-pin (but it came with an adapter, so I'll connect the female 3-pin to a 4-pin molex adapter and connect that to the molex cable from the PSU). My CPU fan is currently snapped onto this weird platform that screws into the mobo. I can snap it right off the platform easily. So I'm assuming the extra case fan will go right on it... right? Will it work like a CPU fan or... what? PLEASE ANSWER QUICK!! [/QUOTE]
