I have the Corsair 100R Silent and the x99m killer. a front and rear chasis fan. where do i connect those wires to the board. the rear fan has 3 pin connector wire and a 4th cable. the front chasis fan only has one femal 3 pin connector. not sure on this.

" rel="nofollow - We're talking simple blow in and blow out chassis fans here, NOT any AiO water cooling radiator fans, right?

I figured this out eventually. the case has a controller that you can plug up to 3 fans into if you want to control case fans with a switch. now i get it. thanks!

y~~es just basic fan. the case has a switch on the rear fan to set low/medium/high speed . so there are three wires with what looks like a sata power connector.~~

~~like this~~
