Motherboard does not have Power Fan Connector! Help!

[Barnito10]

I bought the ASRock H97M Anniversary motherboard
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157547

but now that I'm installing it I noticed that it does not have a power fan connector on the board. So now I won't be able to use that fan. What should I do? Should i just return it?

I was using this board before

Other Connectors
1 x Chassis Intrusion Header
1 x TPM Header
1 x CPU Fan Connector (4-pin)
1 x Chassis Fan Connector (4-pin)
1 x 24 pin ATX Power Connector
1 x 4 pin 12V Power Connector
1 x Front Panel Audio Connector

1 for your cooler and one for an additional fan

You can connect one of the fans to the power supply, by using a molex to 3/4 pin adapter. The fan would run at full speed in this case.

Yeah, if you've used up all your fan headers spend less than $10 on a Zalman fan-mate 2 and a molex to fan adaptor like alexoiu suggested

SR-71 The thing is my case has two addition fans. So i would only be able to use one and the CPU fan. Would you recommend for me to keep it like that?


Alexoiu
Could you please explain how that would work? if the fan is running at full speed would that be loud? I never mess with the fan speeds i don't even know how.
But how would i install that cable

thanks

You'd connect the fan to one end and the other end to the power supply.
It would be a bit noisy, depending on the fan quality.
You can add a resistor for reducing speed:

Okay sounds great. One last question
Would it be okay to run the computer just using that one fan and the cpu fan until the adapter arrives?
thank you

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Yes your setup will be fine until the other stuff arrives.

 

[alexoiu]

Sure, if not too hot in the room. Leave the side panel not mounted.

Yup, they aren't expensive and work perfectly.
