how to unplugg a 3pin fan? stupid question, but im afraid ill brake something if i just use force to pull it out ? :p

[Computerhope]

@BlueB0j No such thing as a stupid question. To unplug the 3pin connection simply pull up, just make sure you're not pulling by the wires, grab the actual connector and pull up.

i bought a open box fan at frys it had no sqruse . where can i buy them . what are they called

[Computerhope]

@aabed31 You'll have to forgive me I'm not sure what you mean by "sqruse", did I mention this in the video if so can you tell me at what time you see it and then I can tell you the name and where to get them.

quick and simple, thankyou :)

[Computerhope]

You're welcome hope it helped.

Good question and something I should of covered in the video. You can identify which way the air blows usually by looking for small arrows on the actual fan. Do a search for "CH001151" on computerhope to see a picture example and additional information.

@Computerhope I always pull by the wires and never nothing happened :D

Hi there! I've got a case fan with a four-pin connector. Could you tell me is it possible to connect the four-pin connector directly to the motherboard? If it is possible, I need to know where on the motherboard is the four-pin plug.

Thanx in advance :)

Thanks for the video mate. After looking at five other videos, I finally found your one which gave me the basic, direct instructions that I was after.

Cheers!

@Megoraxos just upgrading it to 3 fan 1LUV to all the ppl that put people down :)

( life is too short for hate ) im out peace...

[Megoraxos]

@STF043Haha, made you look like a right idiot.

The irony of calling me a geek when your also building a computer.

Learn to spell child.

@STF043 I'm sure any ordinary person above the age of six would simple:

(let put this in baby steps for you so you can understand moron)

Step 1: Get a ruler

Step 2: Look at 120mm

I'm sure you don't have to be a geek to do that.

Your right, what is wrong with idiots such as you today? You don't have the brain to get a ruler?

Anyways, how the hell is some-one meant to answer 'wat size is that 120mm'

120mm IS 120mm you complete dumb-ass.

I hope those steps weren't too hard for you.
