While I understand why you think this is my computer it is not, and your efforts at sabotage will only hurt yourselves. Somehow

Yes that is my setup but the motherboard manual indicates I should plug the +4 into the circle at the bottom of the case there.

Also the fans, my god the fans, are nearly impossible to plug in

My life

I think that four is supposed to go into the four empty pins ... and another four (usually a straight four, but you might have got an Asher Special ) somewhere else on the board, often.

Generally if your PSU is 20+4 compatible the 20 and 4 will be part of the same wire bundle.

If you don't have a seperate 4 pin ATX 12v connector for the socket by the CPU heatsink/fan, you can get an adapter. The computer may run without plugging in a 12v connector at all though.

My life Yeah, Intel CPU fans suck. Mine wouldn't get in. I had it checked by a tech guy. He tried another one and he had a hard time getting it in. He told me that they suck monkey balls.

So is it not a good idea to connect the fans directly to the motherboard or should I be connecting them to the powersupply and/or the motherboard?

I just connected all the phans to any power supply cord that would take them. Is this way of connecting the fans going to be a potential hazard?

I do not want to be the one to have to turn this thing on.

Connecting the fans to the MB may allow for you to view the speed they are turning in bios/software. I usually use the MB connectors first if they're handy. Mostly because it's a bit less clutter in the case that way.

I think the photo is not Wiglaf's actual machine, but a good suggestion nonetheless

Thanks. Also Do I need to insulate the standoffs on the motherboard. Right now they are 6 brass standoffs screwed down.

Make sure you've hooked up the power switch cable right

And that the powersupply switch is on

Wiglaf, did you mean that you have not yet plugged in the CPU?

(The only reason I know this is I've done this several times myself)

Another question though, does the PSU fan generally point inward to the motherboard or out of the case? The latter seems impossible for me but blowing hot air into the computer seems retarded. It faces inward.
