120 mm PWM controlled fan

~~hackerx~~ · Aug 10, 2006, 11:28 AM

Hi guys,
I'll begetting a thermlaright ultra 120 soon to cool my pentium d 930.
But it doesn'tcomewiththefan.And most intelmotherboards give errors if something isn't plugged into the 4 pin fan header.
So does anyone know any 120 mm fan whose speeds can be conrtolledby the motherboard?
Thanks in advance.

P.S
I searched in newegg but all the 4 pin models they have are the molex kind.

what MOBO??

most that have a 4 pin header these days allow you to plug a 3 pin into them also.

Yeah... just any generic 120MM fan should work, most mobo's control fans by lowering voltages

so if i were to get a regular 120 mm fan(without controller)and plug it into the 4 pin header,it would work without a hitch?

If the connector physically fits I assume so
