Can you plug a 3 pin fan into a 4 pin?

Apparently a 3-pin fan can plug directly into a 4-pin socket. Two of the pins provide power to the fan, the 3rd provides an RPM pulse to the motherboard to read the speed. The 4th pin is for PWM speed control. If you plug a 4 pin fan into a 3 pin socket, the fan speed will be controlled by voltage and it’ll still work.

Where does a CPU pump plug into?

Its recommended that the pump be connected to an alternative fan header on the motherboard such as System Fan 1, Chassis_Fan 1, or for newer motherboards a dedicated pump header. Please Note: Lowering the pump RPM can decrease the performance of the cooler along with increasing CPU temperatures.

What is a CPU opt?

The CPU OPT stands for CPU optional. Typically, this is the header that you would use to connect some type of wiring for a liquid cooling system. For example, I have two pumps running my liquid cooling (two separate loops). Each one of these pumps has a single wire that I can plug into the CPU OPT header.

Where do I plug in a second CPU fan?

When using 2 fans, please connect one of the fans to the CPU-Fan header and the second fan to one of the Case-Fan headers of your mainboard. Alternatively, you can also use a 3-pin Y-cable in order to run both fans via the CPU-Fan header. Such cables are available in specialised retail stores.

What is the difference between system fan and CPU fan?

The difference between the CPU fan and the system fan is that the former is the one attached to the heatsink of the processor, and the latter is generally on one of the sides of the case to exhaust hot air. Even though the BIOS isn’t detecting a system fan doesn’t mean there isn’t one.
