Hi
I am in the process of building my pc and have run into a "problem" regarding connection of the three chassis fans that were included with my Antec P182 case.Each fan has a red and black wire connected to what I tink is referred to as a "molex" cable. I was able to daisy chain the three cables. I now can connect this daisy chained cable to my Anec NeoPower 650 Blue power supply suing one of the modular molex connections. However I also notice several chassis fan connections on my Asus P5K Duluxe Wifi motherboard. There are several of these white 3 pin connection points. Unfortunately, the modular cables that were included with the power supply don't seem to nclude a 3 in connection. (I found a 4 pin molex to floppy connector, but I am assuming that this is not useable for fans to MB. Should I try to purchase an adaptor cable which will let me connect fan power to my MB? Or am I just as well off connecting to the power supply. Thanks.
