@mikeoxlong4737 3 жыл бұрын

So... I just got my case fans. But me being me didn't look to see if i have all the right outlets on my motherboard. But I couldn't find any outlets for my fans except for the ones that are already being used. (My PC is prebuilt and my motherboard is the A520M-A PRO AMD from MSI) but now when I went to plug the Fans in (they are RGB fans) i couldn't find the outlet. I went onto the MSI website for this motherboard and found out that it only has 2 outlets for fans. The System fan 1 and the CPU fan 1. But other than that i can't find any others. But i still tried to see if i could maybe just swap out the "old" fan with the new one. The Fan worked but the RGB didn't. Now i didn't try to get the RGB working because i was already pretty upset that i would only be able to fit two fans in, so i gave up. Can somebody give me any tips or tell me something i should try. Pls help :)

This was way better and so much more clear than all the other videos I saw even from bigger channels. You actually zoomed in right up close to the connectors on the motherboard, showed their labels referenced along with the manual too, explained the basics of intake and exhaust for the fans! Thank you for taking the time and effort to make this. It's been really helpful and I appreciate it.

It's not as powerful as I thought it would be, but it works very well. kzfaq.infoUgkxGjG43--gYqIoT4Xkur2PqCrtbKwTv2h6 There are three options to circulate air, and best of all a remote control for us lazy people. Installation was a breeze (no pun intended). It actually took longer to open the box then it did putting the side extenders on and sitting it in the window opening. It's a perfect alternative when you want airflow, but not the AC. Just might order another one for a different room. UPDATE: Bought another one like I said. They work great. Why not have two...

Little tips: if you tryna to screw 4 screws or more. Do the X move, so basically if you screw the top right part, the second screw must be on the down left part. It's more easy to screw with that move because the part you gonna screw isn't dangling like in that video.

If a CPU has a stock cooler do they take up one of these fan slots on the motherboard? (Also good video my man)

@BuildsWithV 4 жыл бұрын

No, so the CPU cooler (stock or aftermarket) will plug into a separate fan header; usually named “CPU_Fan” or something like that. If you have a liquid cooler, the CPU block/pump will usually plug into the designated pump header and the radiator fans would then plug into the “CPU_fan” header, however every motherboard is different so I can’t say for sure. I really appreciate the compliment, thank you 🙏
