Another newbie question .. I picked up a variable speed Antec SmartCool 80mm fan. The instructions said to only use it as an exhaust fan and I can live with that. But I'm confused when it said that it should only be plugged into a 'non-variable power connector' only. My question is: are the SFAN 1 and 2 connectors on the MB receive a constant 12V? How can you tell? Should I connect the fan power to one of the power supply FAN connectors .. or should I connect directly to the MB through the 3 pin connector.

Thanks


P.S.

Ended up connecting the 3 pin connector to the MB SFAN header ...
