Hi, all. I'm working on building my first computer, and ran into a problem. Here's what I've got for hardware:
Apevia X-Sniper case
Asus M3A78-EM motherboard
Raidmax RX-530SS power supply
Also have a Sata2 HD and a DVD burner, I can pull the models but really don't think it matters.
here's the problem. Got everything put into the case (surprisingly easy) and started to hook up cables. motherboard instructions talk about having power pins Pwr_fan, CPU_fan, and CHA_fan so that it can use it's SmartQ fan option (I assume). I got the CPU fan plugged in, but the other two are three pin (grnd, 12v, rotation). Naturally, there is no instructions for the power supply, just cables. There are no 3-pin connectors. The fan on the cpu has a standard 4-pin plug, and there is a cable to tie that to the PS. I have cables for the drives also, so I think I can figure that one out (although is it better to run one cable for HD and one for DVD or put both on the same?). the PS fan is a mystery, since I'm not sure about where to put that on the supply side either. I got the SATA cables finally figured out, but this one has be stumped. I suspect that I need some cables, but I might just not be seeing something right. Any suggestions? Much appreciated. Thanks!
