okies, i guess i will pair it with blademaster because i dont want it to look different lolz.. maybe i will try xtraflo for exhaust or intake fan. What does it means by PWM? if i just plug to molex connect it will just run at full speed right? how can i control the fan speed?

QUOTE(FiragaZ @ Jul 7 2011, 04:57 PM)
Pwm is a method of fan control, the fan speed is according to the cpu temp, if ur temp rise, ur fan speed rpm will rise too, it helps reduce noise when ur system is idle. Control speed of fan in molex i never try b4, y would u put the cpu fan on molex? the fan socket use habis?

i mean casing fan, not hsf fan lolz.. hsf fan for sure put on cpu fan socket, but if wan put push pull, but mobo only got 1 cpu fan socket how?

But if like tat the fan will not be on PWM mode, if the two fans are not running at same speed, how can it push pull efficiently? I noob abit need more clarification lolz..
