I bought a coolermaster haf 912 to replace my hp case because that case has only 1 fan and you can't add any more while the 912 has 2 and you can add 4 more. Well I realized I only had 1 3 pin fan connector on my motherboard so I ordered this: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812423165&_ga=1.13663280.681879690.1461882070
Before installing the new case I hooked the connector to my fan and motherboard and power supply and the fan just went crazy going at 100% speed, the fan was also not recognized which was strange. Also I currently have an hp motherboard and the fan is 3pin. How can I get the fan to be recognized u the motherboard and have it change speed based on the cpu temperature like the splitter adveratized? (Sorry if I used wrong motherboard and fan terms, I don't have a lot of experience with them)
