Its a Nexus 120 Real Silent fan. The pins on the mobo plug is 1 fewer then on the mobo contact. And it had both molex and mobo plug, so I was guessing the mobo plug was just to read rpm and to controll it, and the molex was for power. There were no manual with the fan, but I guess I may be able to digg something up from the homepage.

If anyone got more info on the subject, please reply!

EDIT:
Found the answer here: http://www.nexustek.nl/120mmcasefan.htm
Should either use mobo or molex, if I use molex it cannot do rpm controll on the fan. So if I remove the molex I guess the situation will change.
So I then need to enable the qfan controll in bios to make the mobo controll the speed of the fan?

Hi all from the sunny Lisbon!

Im a new user to these amazing forums, starting off by presenting myself. Couldnt find a tab for presentations, if there are any please admin feel free to move this msg.

Proud owner of Maximus Formula SE, right built just a few days ago. specs on signature.

heres a few mobo pics also.

Notice all is upside down? yes its a btx format lolol probably not too confy for a propper heatpipe functioning, but thats what i have at present, Maximus regular was not available (dont plan on going water anytime soon)

So to compensate somehow i inserted a 50mm revoltec eliminating one of the mb mount screws.
(if you think will be for the benefit of all i can post this small mod i did at home.. if so where should i post it?)
