1st is a sata connector

2nd 6 pin pcie connector

3rd again a sata connector now

4th now this one has 3 4pin molex connectors im using two of these to run my case fan ( case is ANTEC 200 ) now this is the thing is the last connector on this cable the small one is it for a flopy or is a motherboard connector for the case fans ??? my thought is its not as my motherboard has one 3 pin case fan connector and this one HAS 4 pins ???

if its not a mobo conector for the case fans than how am i supposed to control the speed of the case fans !!??? oh yeah and the on off switch for the case fans is on the case just two buttons to slide back and forth .

PLEASE HELP ME GUYS !!!!!?

It's for a floppy---just leave it hanging if you don't have anything to plug it into. You don't provide power to the mobo for fans (the little bit they use is easily handled by the mobo), and the mobo does not power case fans.You can't expect a control circuit to operate through the power wires, and you don't normally control case fan speed, anyway. They are large enough to run slow enough to be quiet enough. It's the little cooler fans and GPU fans that make the noise. The cooler fan is usually plugged into the mobo for speed control, and the GPU fan is controlled by the GPU driver. It would help to know what case and mobo you're talking about.

Yeah, just piggyback all your case fan power connectors on that one cable. The switches on your case switch between fast and slow for the case fans, not on and off. That's a nice feature. I would start out with them set for slow to keep the noise down and only turn them up to high one at a time if I started having cooling problems with my CPU or GPU.

I use Core Temp with the grapher for CPU. I'm using EVGA Precision for the GPU only because that's the brand card I have---it's too small and imprecise, and it poses the danger that I might accidentallly overclock by hitting the wrong buttons, but it does graph.
