remember that the front (aka the face/the nice looking part) of the fan sucks air in, the back blows air like a normal fan. the exhaust fan should have the front facing the right side of the case, and the intake fan should have the BACK of the fan facing the LEFT side of the case

Hi, ive got a question. Are we able to install fans on the side to the mobo,(parallel to the panel) Im worried about my pc having empty space there which would look weird. Thanks
You can connect your fans to SYS_FAN, SYS_FAN1, SYS FAN2 etc on your motherboard, normally its 4-pin connector, but if the fans have 3-pin cable you can still plug them in just leave the fourth pin blank.
I just love the part where you mentioned which socket you plug into the fucking motherboard. There’s literally 100 sockets. WHY DOES EVERYONE JUST SAY “JuSt PlUg iT InTO TTne MOThErBoaRD”
Dont use ARGB or DRGB(meant only for 3 pins)- it is 5v Use traditional RGB which has 4 pins on your MB RGB port which reads 12v(Reads as GRB or something like that). Note: If the cable length is smaller you may need to buy extension cable which costs more for a single fan.
dude i built my first pc on my own to help or instructions it took me 2 hours to figure out everything now i can build for in 30 minutes but installing the fan and plugging it in was the easiest and quickest thing to its so obviously theirs only one connector it goes into unless you running some shit from 2012
these tutorials should specify that you should plug the case fan into the SYS_FAN header. people could confuse it with the CPU_FAN header but only if they are stupid enough to not know what a cpu is and they just call it a processor/microprocessor
@@skitzers or u can just blindly look at the fan and determine the direction of the airflow. "faces suck" the face/front of the fan will always suck in the air.
@@taylorebenguard6998 why are you here? hes talking about the arrows which are on the side of the fan which indicate which direction the air will get sucked in. you can also use the arrows to figure out the exhaust. or an easier way to determine it is that the front of the fan will always suck the air in and the back will blow the air out. the front is the nice looking side and the back side is the ugly looking side.
not all, some fans have different measurements like 40, 60, 120, 140mm but your case might not support them. check the size of the fan and make sure your pc case fits the size.
@@taylorebenguard6998yeah and if it's wrong you get to uninstall and do it over again! Maybe it'd be helpful if that info was covered in the friggin "how to install a pc fan" video??? How many embarrassingly dumb comments did you post under this clip?! 🤡
@@dreamsofthefuture2890You've likely figured this out by now, but here's a tip for those searching: Look in the manual for motherboard layout and a diagram of the 4 pin headers. The PWN pin is on the end opposite of the ground pin. Plug in the 3 pin leaving the PWM pin exposed. Fair winds and following seas to all.
Thank you!
I was looking exactly for such a simple and clean toturial.
Same
I worry for your intelligence if you needed a tutorial on how to use a screwdriver
@@theburger_king if you say so, but this helped me know where to put the 3 pin cable on the motherboard
@@Broksium don’t you have a manual

So did he do it correctly or nah
Not correct
Some fans are 4 pin PWM
well if you have a 3 pin on the motherboard u can still connect the 4 pin but its impossible to do any pwm controls
@@skitzersI have a 3 pin fan and 4 pin mother board and all of my other case fans matched the mother bored with a 4 pin connector so idk what to do
could've talked about push/pull but otherwise nice
I totally didn’t think of that. I’ll make a video covering it!
what's that?
which is more important then anything 😅

Cool. How do I install 3 of them if there’s only 2?
I have bought a 6pin fan and i am wondering if i can plug it into my motherboard without needing to buy a controller for it
How can i put 2 fan top of each other ,what kind of screw i need fo that?
How would I know that's the area to connect the fan to the motherboard?
currently my fan isnt working ,so does this cause any problems and i already have 3 fans in the front
My office computer uses 3 fan screws, there’s no 4th hole. That’s what she said
That’s a exhaust fan lol
i think that’s the point, it’s on the back of the system
Hi, ive got a question.
Are we able to install fans on the side to the mobo,(parallel to the panel)
Im worried about my pc having empty space there which would look weird.
Thanks
What connection do I connect the 3 pin to on the motherboard?
use ARGB or DRGB(meant only for 3 pins)- it is 5v
Are you supposed to just force the screw into the fan holes? I noticed that my case fan's corner holes don't have any threads in them...
yes basically that's how i installed mine you make the threads urself by screwing
How do I know which port to plug into the motherboard?
If you have for example a 4 pin connector, there should just be a slot for it on the motherboard and you shouldn’t have to worry about
I'm sorry where did you put the fan connector on the mobo again?
You can connect your fans to SYS_FAN, SYS_FAN1, SYS FAN2 etc on your motherboard, normally its 4-pin connector, but if the fans have 3-pin cable you can still plug them in just leave the fourth pin blank.
I have only 1 3-pin connector on motherboard but I want to install 2 fans.... so how can I do?
you can use a fan splitter or a hub
You are god my friend you help me lotttt 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
What about with rgb
Will RGB it's just four-pin and goes in the same slit
I cant manage to connect the cable to turn on the fans, it just wont go in
How about the other fans
Do you have to take the back panel off?
Yes, you need to, to manage the cable

Im the 8300th like🎉
So how do you know what direction the air is flowing?
you can try looking on the side of the fan maybe there will be an air indicator indicating where the direction of the airflow is
@@skitzers or u can just blindly look at the fan and determine the direction of the airflow. "faces suck" the face/front of the fan will always suck in the air.
What screws are those?
I don't actually know the name of them. I just call them fan screws. They're the ones with the large thread.
Why are the screws hard to put on? 🤔
No idea😂
Why do the screws break my fan when screwing them in?
Maybe your fan cheap or you don't put fan correctly
@@Manusia.satu1 no it isn’t cheap
Cant do any of this without knowing what direction or orientation the arrow should be in.
bro what are you talking about
@@taylorebenguard6998 why are you here? hes talking about the arrows which are on the side of the fan which indicate which direction the air will get sucked in. you can also use the arrows to figure out the exhaust. or an easier way to determine it is that the front of the fan will always suck the air in and the back will blow the air out. the front is the nice looking side and the back side is the ugly looking side.
@@dynahzm this video oddly enough got suggested to me scrolling through shorts
What case is that?
It’s an old NZXT S340. It was replaced by the H500/510
But if i want like 9 fans i dont have a fan building a new pc with a big case
can I add any PC fan to case?
not all, some fans have different measurements like 40, 60, 120, 140mm but your case might not support them. check the size of the fan and make sure your pc case fits the size.
nah you need to fans just leave the glass panel off 👍
Pro tip use an electric drill. Those little guys are a pain to screw in.
Even better use a Pneumatic drill gun
no not really
@@richarddixon146 drills are too strong fr.
you forgot to mention the orientation of the fan...oops!
i can’t believe so many of you keep saying this and its the simplest thing to figure out
@@taylorebenguard6998 most of these people are amateurs. people arent all smart as u
What is the fan name?
It’s a Fractal Design 120mm. Not too sure on the specific model
How do I do the front ones?
same way you did the back ones
Thanks for blocking the location of the power
I don't have tis pin
didn't say anything about direction of air flow..
i mean thats kind of obvious having it blowing the same direction as your front fans so it blows air through the case
@@taylorebenguard6998 obvious? thats not obvious. i know the orientation of the fan is but its not obvious first time that i learned it
@@dynahzm well when you plug it in just put your hand in front of the fan to see which way it’s blowing
@@taylorebenguard6998 i personally wouldn't get too close to a running pc fan because i don't want my finger ending up discombobulated

Do even if your motherboard is 4 pin I can plug in a 3 pin? Anyone able to help me
Yeah you can just make sure its the right pins (3 pin can connect to 4 pin)

Care to share anything constructive?

Stop breaking your voice at the end of every sentence. You are a fully grown man, act like one
You speaking about maturity when you comment this🤣🤣 Is everything ok?
How do I know where to connect the three pin? I can only see 4 pins in my motherboard
It doesn’t matter just make sure its a fan header
