    Hi there:D

    Just bitten the bullet for my first build and got an Antec 1200 with an Asus P6X58D-E motherboard. Unfortunately, deepite reading the paperwork I can't find the answers to a couple of problems.

    Can't work out which connectors to use for the case fans :-/ I have an Enermax 1050 and was able to connect it's fan OK. However, the case fans have Different (molex!?) connectors. Also, are the connectors able to be stacked with each other?

    Also, the 8 pin ATX power supply on the board has a blank over four of the pins. Is it OK 2 use a 4 pin connector or, should I just remove the blank and use the 8 pin?

    Sorry if this is a bit basic but, I was up till 2 last night with no luck.

    yes you can use the 4 pin .but if you have the 8 pin use it just gives a stable voltage around the MB

    as for the fans you can use any connection. if you use the molex it will make the fan work at full speed .if you use the 3 pin fan header that goes to the MB thats for the cool n quiet
