can i use GELID Gamer Wing 12 PL fan as the cpu fan with the 212 evo ?? the fan has a pwm connector so i guess it should work but ill still ask to be 100% sure :)

[quotemsg=14145853,0,1596926]No, any 120mm fan will do. Whether or not you need a PWM connector to control the fan speed depends on your motherboard.[/quotemsg]

well i heard someone said if i use a 3pin fan as the cpu cooler it will say error he said

[quotemsg=14146085,0,1596926]Yes, it's OK, although a 3-pin fan might run at 100% at all times since it can't be controlled through PWM.[/quotemsg]

but the fan i want to replace it with only has 1,200rpm.. i was going to go with push and pull config but idk if 1,200rpm is recommended/good enough with the 212 evo

im sure the asrock z97 extreme 4 supports 3pin fans as a cpu cooler
