Hi, today I was supposed to upgrade stock case fan to a 3 pin Noctua NF-A9.
Unfortunately, I discovered too late that a 3 pin cannot plug into the motherboard..
motherboard socket is this.. sorry, could not pull out the connector of the stock fan to show more details.. there seems to be a way of pulling this out as the techinician at the shop was able to pull it easily, but now at home.. I can't. Afraid of breaking something, so won't force it.
anyway, is there a converter I could buy.. so that a 3 pin case fan could plug into this? Info appreciated.
