My case -- Deepcool Terraract BF -- has a fan in the wall : |
5 |
none of my previous cases had one, so I'm not sure how to connect it. |
6 |
It has a 3-pin plug & the Mobo -- Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P -- |
7 |
has 2 3-pin sockets marked 'power fan' & 'system fan'. |
8 |
I've tried plugging the case fan into both, but it doesn't run. |
9 |
The various manuals + I/net sites don't offer any advice. |
10 |
|
11 |
Which is the correct socket or should both be ok ? |
12 |
Does the case fan run only when the inside starts getting too hot ? |
13 |

The machine has woken up -- it's like having a baby (grin) -- |
15 |
& BIOS shows everything is running as expected. |
