Okay, so before I first built this PC, I used PC Partpicker to see if everything was compatible and the website said that everything was.

My PC specs:
AMD FX 6300 CPU
MSI Radeon R9 280x 3GB
Rosewill Line M Mini tower case
Corsair 500 power supply
Gskill ripjaws 8gb (2x4gb) ram
Gigabyte 78lmt USB motherboard

When I built the PC, everything was fine until I tried to plug in the rear fan and there wasnt a port on the motherboard for it to go into but everything else plugged in just fine.
Am I missing something?

That motherboard has 2 fan headers 1 for cpu 1 for case fan, if you have both already used you're gonna need a fan header adapter for your psu.
what??? Are your saying he's supposed to connect the PSU fan on the header of the motherboard...?????

aside your pc can consume up to 464W of power? meaning that 500W PSU is not sufficient you need at least 600W
 


An adapter that turns molex into fan headers,

Is English too hard for you to understand?

Nobody (except you) mentioned anything about the PSU fan - :sarcastic:

Rear fan is clearly a case fan.

If the thread-starter was referring to the PSU fan he would have called it that.
