The case: Newegg listing for Chenbro ES34169-BK-120

The motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-D525TUD (Newegg has it as well but I can't post more than one link due to being a new user)

As far as the question, the system fan I have no idea how to get these to connect to the motherboard. There are two connectors which then go to extension fan cables. So when you connect these, it should be good, but the extension cables are two connectors that go to the system fans and a female molex connector (if you click the Chenbro listing, look at the 6th picture and you'll see the two connections being made and the molex connector just kind of hanging out in the case). Is there a piece I'm missing to get it to connect to the 3 pin sys_fan section of the board?

Thanks,

Speed Fan - low fan speed can burn cpu ?

As i can see, with this software you can set the fan speed. So, if you set it to low, theCPU temperature will grow really high and it can burn in likely 1 hour - is this possible or not and why ? Thanks. >>> More
