Hello,

I'd like to install a thermo-controlled case fan. Where should I connect it to? Power Fan or System Fan?

THX.

System fan, probably. The Power fan spot is for the PSU, if your PSU has that feature. They will both get the same amount of power, it only matters for fan detection software, like if you wanted to monitor your fan's RPM or something. But generally, the system fan is for the case fan.

I wouldn't advice slowing down the P/S fan anyway if it's not a feature of the P/S. There is a lot of heat generated in a pretty small space in the P/S.

Hello johnwill, long time no see.

Std PSU, no such feature.
