Hello, last night I looked into my PC to clean it and I noticed my front fan wasn't connected, it was going when its on, I checked the cables and its just hanging out of the zip tie. Its not connected to the motherboard either. How is it running?

Connected to the PSU maybe?
Thats weird most fans only have 1 connector.

I don't really think so, I got a PSU with Cables connected internally in the PSU unlike the ones today which are connected outside it, my PSU is 420w.

Is the fan not connected in anyway?
Weird, if not be happy. Free cooling. 😛

Is their any other source of flowing air? Like Wind,other fans,AC,etc,etc

My guess is there is a cable you dont see, or there is a lot of positive airflow in the case.

Your right! LMAO. When I was replacing my case with a Raidmax Super Helios I found 2 cables going into the PSU. I was thinking that the strip of molax plugs were suppose to connect somewhere to make the fan work, now I realise that I can have 4 fans.
