Basic help required

[Scunner98]

Hi All,

Am new to the forums and been a while since i last built my own system. I could use some help with fitting my Noctua NH-U12P SE1366 to my GA-EX58-UD5 mobo.

I can't work out where to connect the two fans for this cooler to my mobo. My mobo has a 4 Pin CPU_Fan, SYS_Fan2 and three 3pin fan connectors SYS_Fan3, SYS_Fan1/PWR_Fan and then there is a NB_Fan. Which ones do i connect the two Noctua fans too? Not sure what the NB_Fan is for and If i must use the CPU_Fan as it will be monitored by the Bios i would think? Do I need a 3-4 pin adaptor? Any help you can provide would be great and i appreciate these are fairly basic questions.

plug them both into 4pin molex mate as they silent anyway at 12v

So they don't need to be connected to the mobo itself then they can be powered directly from the power supply if using a molex? Just worried as some Bios monitor the CPU fan temparture etc.

I would use the CPU fan connector and one of the other fan connectors on the motherboard.

YOU can turn the rpm warning off,as you can see the fans spinning
