    hello guys, basically i have the 500 w seasonic PSU. Since i purchased it i havnt connected the wire that has a 3 pin fan connector for the motherboard on the end of it (its a black and blue cable) do i connect this to a free fan header on the motherboard? i have heard that its for temperature controlled fan on the PSU

    yep!
    connect it to your motherboard, and you will be able to read the fan speed that the psu is going at using mbm (or another similiar app!) and also if your psu supports it, it will slow down-speed up the fan in the psu accordingly...

    PIE_UK - RTFM or use the search. I've never ever seen anyone make as many noobish new threads as you do. Most of your questions have been answered before or could be answered in about 5mins if you just learn to use the ****ing search.

    You seem to make new threads every single month / week even when you already have a thread about the same topic (e.g. case thread last month and this month). Seriously learn to do some sodding research on your own. Google is there for a reason.

    Mods - If this seems like a flame then it is. I'm not the only one who feels this way.

    I completly agree, but am bored out of my brains at work (cba. with real work) so I thought I would lower myself and just answer the question anyway...

    OK, well there are people that want to help mate, whether or not I have asked it before.. peoples opinions change which is why I ask possibly more than once.

    I looked in the manual but it does not say anything about it thermally controlling it which is why I asked people here since we all have similar products. Fair enough I could use the "****ing search" as you politely put it but in all honesty it would only then take me to another forum…

    Plus yes it may be a noobish question, but have you every thought about other people except yourself who may want to know.

    Anyway cheers Felix the cat :thumb:

    and yes i too am bored out of my skull so i thought i would ask it

    sorry if it makes you feel this way

    You have totally missed the point. The whole point of searching is so you sort through and read the infomation it brings up and try to work things out for yourself. Hell you might even learn a thing or two on your own.

    That's true everyone is a new to something all of the time. But most people seem to get past asking about every little thing more than once and actually start working things out on their own.

    Does this mean your going to stop making make a new post every 6 posts then? If so thank **** for that. :clap:

    It'd be advisable. Closing...
