remember that the front (aka the face/the nice looking part) of the fan sucks air in, the back blows air like a normal fan. the exhaust fan should have the front facing the right side of the case, and the intake fan should have the BACK of the fan facing the LEFT side of the case
I had 3 prong off my 4 case fans which came as stock and didn’t realise you could plug them into the 4 prongs! Legend, I almost had to take it down to a shop to find this issue lol you saved the day for me (first pc build so I’m a noob)
How did you put it in? Like did you only plug it into three of the prongs and leave one out? I just don’t want to break anything. Could you just explain what you did?

Put the screw into the fan outside of the case first, so you can make the threads for the screws, because the plastic fan housing is not threaded. Trust me it will be much easier to screw them into the case after this way
Hi, ive got a question. Are we able to install fans on the side to the mobo,(parallel to the panel) Im worried about my pc having empty space there which would look weird. Thanks
You can connect your fans to SYS_FAN, SYS_FAN1, SYS FAN2 etc on your motherboard, normally its 4-pin connector, but if the fans have 3-pin cable you can still plug them in just leave the fourth pin blank.
I just love the part where you mentioned which socket you plug into the fucking motherboard. There’s literally 100 sockets. WHY DOES EVERYONE JUST SAY “JuSt PlUg iT InTO TTne MOThErBoaRD”
Dont use ARGB or DRGB(meant only for 3 pins)- it is 5v Use traditional RGB which has 4 pins on your MB RGB port which reads 12v(Reads as GRB or something like that). Note: If the cable length is smaller you may need to buy extension cable which costs more for a single fan.
dude i built my first pc on my own to help or instructions it took me 2 hours to figure out everything now i can build for in 30 minutes but installing the fan and plugging it in was the easiest and quickest thing to its so obviously theirs only one connector it goes into unless you running some shit from 2012
these tutorials should specify that you should plug the case fan into the SYS_FAN header. people could confuse it with the CPU_FAN header but only if they are stupid enough to not know what a cpu is and they just call it a processor/microprocessor
@@skitzers or u can just blindly look at the fan and determine the direction of the airflow. "faces suck" the face/front of the fan will always suck in the air.
@@taylorebenguard6998 why are you here? hes talking about the arrows which are on the side of the fan which indicate which direction the air will get sucked in. you can also use the arrows to figure out the exhaust. or an easier way to determine it is that the front of the fan will always suck the air in and the back will blow the air out. the front is the nice looking side and the back side is the ugly looking side.
not all, some fans have different measurements like 40, 60, 120, 140mm but your case might not support them. check the size of the fan and make sure your pc case fits the size.
@@dreamsofthefuture2890You've likely figured this out by now, but here's a tip for those searching: Look in the manual for motherboard layout and a diagram of the 4 pin headers. The PWN pin is on the end opposite of the ground pin. Plug in the 3 pin leaving the PWM pin exposed. Fair winds and following seas to all.
@@taylorebenguard6998yeah and if it's wrong you get to uninstall and do it over again! Maybe it'd be helpful if that info was covered in the friggin "how to install a pc fan" video??? How many embarrassingly dumb comments did you post under this clip?! 🤡

I was looking exactly for such a simple and clean toturial.

Some fans are 4 pin PWM
well if you have a 3 pin on the motherboard u can still connect the 4 pin but its impossible to do any pwm controls
@@skitzersI have a 3 pin fan and 4 pin mother board and all of my other case fans matched the mother bored with a 4 pin connector so idk what to do

I have bought a 6pin fan and i am wondering if i can plug it into my motherboard without needing to buy a controller for it
My office computer uses 3 fan screws, there’s no 4th hole. That’s what she said
currently my fan isnt working ,so does this cause any problems and i already have 3 fans in the front
You are god my friend you help me lotttt 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Hi, ive got a question.
Are we able to install fans on the side to the mobo,(parallel to the panel)
Im worried about my pc having empty space there which would look weird.
Thanks
How can i put 2 fan top of each other ,what kind of screw i need fo that?
That’s a exhaust fan lol
i think that’s the point, it’s on the back of the system
How would I know that's the area to connect the fan to the motherboard?
Cool. How do I install 3 of them if there’s only 2?
You need a fan Hub
Are you supposed to just force the screw into the fan holes? I noticed that my case fan's corner holes don't have any threads in them...
yes basically that's how i installed mine you make the threads urself by screwing
What connection do I connect the 3 pin to on the motherboard?
use ARGB or DRGB(meant only for 3 pins)- it is 5v
I'm sorry where did you put the fan connector on the mobo again?
You can connect your fans to SYS_FAN, SYS_FAN1, SYS FAN2 etc on your motherboard, normally its 4-pin connector, but if the fans have 3-pin cable you can still plug them in just leave the fourth pin blank.

How do I know which port to plug into the motherboard?
If you have for example a 4 pin connector, there should just be a slot for it on the motherboard and you shouldn’t have to worry about
I have only 1 3-pin connector on motherboard but I want to install 2 fans.... so how can I do?
you can use a fan splitter or a hub
I cant manage to connect the cable to turn on the fans, it just wont go in
What about with rgb
Will RGB it's just four-pin and goes in the same slit
How about the other fans
Do you have to take the back panel off?
Yes, you need to, to manage the cable
Does cables come with fan
Yes
What screws are those?
I don't actually know the name of them. I just call them fan screws. They're the ones with the large thread.
My case don’t got those
So how do you know what direction the air is flowing?
you can try looking on the side of the fan maybe there will be an air indicator indicating where the direction of the airflow is
@@skitzers or u can just blindly look at the fan and determine the direction of the airflow. "faces suck" the face/front of the fan will always suck in the air.
Cant do any of this without knowing what direction or orientation the arrow should be in.
bro what are you talking about

@@dynahzm this video oddly enough got suggested to me scrolling through shorts
Why do the screws break my fan when screwing them in?
Maybe your fan cheap or you don't put fan correctly
@@Manusia.satu1 no it isn’t cheap
But if i want like 9 fans i dont have a fan building a new pc with a big case
Why are the screws hard to put on? 🤔
No idea😂
Im the 8300th like🎉
What case is that?
It’s an old NZXT S340. It was replaced by the H500/510
Pro tip use an electric drill. Those little guys are a pain to screw in.
Even better use a Pneumatic drill gun
no not really
@@richarddixon146 drills are too strong fr.
can I add any PC fan to case?
not all, some fans have different measurements like 40, 60, 120, 140mm but your case might not support them. check the size of the fan and make sure your pc case fits the size.
nah you need to fans just leave the glass panel off 👍
you forgot to mention the orientation of the fan...oops!
i can’t believe so many of you keep saying this and its the simplest thing to figure out
@@taylorebenguard6998 most of these people are amateurs. people arent all smart as u
Thanks for blocking the location of the power
Do even if your motherboard is 4 pin I can plug in a 3 pin? Anyone able to help me
Yeah you can just make sure its the right pins (3 pin can connect to 4 pin)

What is the fan name?
It’s a Fractal Design 120mm. Not too sure on the specific model
How do I do the front ones?
same way you did the back ones
that be quiet! screw driver lol
It's unironically my best screwdriver😂
didn't say anything about direction of air flow..
i mean thats kind of obvious having it blowing the same direction as your front fans so it blows air through the case
@@taylorebenguard6998 obvious? thats not obvious. i know the orientation of the fan is but its not obvious first time that i learned it
@@dynahzm well when you plug it in just put your hand in front of the fan to see which way it’s blowing
