If a fan is on the front of the case or on the side of the case it should suck air in from the outside and push it to the inside of the computer.
If a fan is on the back/top or bottom, then it needs to remove air from the case.

You can connect it to Molex or the motherboard, on the motherboard you *should* be able to set the fan speeds in the BIOS or motherboard software in Windows.
Molex it will run at full speed unless the fan is Thermal Controlled (Like Arctic Coolings TC fans) or has an adjustment thingy on it somewhere.

everything is running, but the monitor is on but not receiving any feed. the blue light just keeps blinking. Not to sure what to do

i guess the monitor should be plugged into the gpu spot rather then the mother board input?

the head on the monitor plug is diffrent then my gpu slot

The monitor does need to be plugged into the GPU rather than the Motherboard.

I assume you have only a D-Sub monitor? I.E. One of these connectors.


If that's the case you need to get a DVI or HDMI or Display Port to D-sub converter or buy a more modern monitor or check to see if your monitor has DVI or HDMI.
DVI looks like this:

yes, i am using a d sub monitor. I think that may be why the display doesnt show. guess i'll need a convertor. i hope this is the problem, it can be easily fixed rather then disecting the whole computer lol

Well. You used to get DVI to D-sub converters with graphics card purchases. :P
Should look something like this:


You sure your monitor doesn't have DVI, HDMI or Display Port?

my dad gave it to me, it has the top one of that picture. But no wire for it. Just a dvi. so i guess i will need to get a new wire?

And you MUST use this little convertor that came with your graphics card. If you already have one attached from an other card, this will, in general, not work.

Yep, get a DVI cable.
D-sub is analogue, DVI is pretty much HDMI with a different connector.

my gpu connecter is a dvi-i. so i jsut need a dvi cable?
