    in the midst of my first build, and i'm stuck

    hi, i'm building my gaming pc (specs in sig) and right now only need to hook up the sysfan1 and sysfan2 on my mother board to 4 pin connectors.. but there's only 1? i can take a picture if needed

    Can you clarify what you mean by "sysfan1 and sysfan2"? Are these fans for your CPU cooler or case fans?

    case fans, sorry

    Just took a look at your motherboard's manual, you've got four different connectors for case fans:



    CPU fan connector is yellow, four pin connectors are orange, three pin connectors are red.

    great timing, lost the thing I connect into my PC from my phone to upload pics. i have it plugged in. as well as the mobo power and the
    gpu power. i have a feeling it's a problem with the front panel connectors.

    double check how you wired them up, it can be easy to put them on backwards or just on the wrong pins!!
