Most do. |

Well i know everything already...I kno that the cpu_fan is for the mother board. But i haven't seen a cha_fan is. I just don't want to be stuck with 800bucks of stuff -- chan589 |

The only one you really need is the cpu fan.
You can fit and control other fans if you want, but for the motherboard to control the fan speed the fan header must have four pins. You might want one or more system fans to blow air in or out of the case. Suggested fan headers for these will usually be labelled cha_fan (chassis fan)or sys_fan (system fan). A fan to cool your hard disks is a good idea. It is possible to control and/or monitor your PSU fan if the motherboard and PSU have suitable connections. If there are too few fan headers you can always buy molex to fan header adapters. You can leave fan headers unused. If you want independent control of fan speeds you can get variable speed fan controllers such as the Fanmate 2 http://www.zalman.co.kr/Eng/product/...ad.asp?idx=206.

Well if you know everything already, why are you here asking questions?
cha stands for chassis, meaning a case fan. -- ------ "chan589" wrote in message ...
