Hi folks

Quick Question.

My rear fan is not working.

However what I would like to know is can a unplug the 3 pin cable from its molex setup that comes with the fan and plug it into one of the "sysfan" connections on the motherboard?

Maybe the fan is broken but I cannot get it to work via the molex connectors or direct plugin to the motherboard with the sysfan label.

Thanking you

John

I wouldn't bother, its very doubtful the cable would die and if the power supply went nothing would work. Your going to need to replace the fan.
