It's been asked a few times, but I'm still not quite sure what the solution is...

The case has four fans with 3-pin connectors. The motherboard I purchased only has one 3-pin fan connector. The adapter linked in the OP converts one Molex input to three. How do I hook up the fans then? Do I need one or these for each fan?

Thanks.

Edit: Or is the item in the OP supposed to be something like this?

Edit2: Nevermind. Should have opened the fans and found the Molex adapters first.

That MB has a Realtek 8111E LAN-Card. A lot of people have problems with it. So I wouldn't buy it. http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.ph...otherboard
