i put all my stuff together, whew! but i have some questions -on the fans, theres this cable with 3 pins on all the fans but theres only 2 or 3 slots on my motherboard. is that just for controlling the fan speed? because i can see the fans running even though the 3-pins are not connected. -on the motherboard guide book that comes with it, it says there there is a fan speed slot thing, but its 4-pins. can i still use the 3-pin cable on the fans to plug it in that? -i realized that i put my cpu fan cooler the wrong direction. well, its not wrong but i would get better air-flow if i change the way its facing. if i take it off and put it back on, would i have to re-apply thermal paste?? -which is better? DVI or VGA(the white one or blue one) i think i have more questions, but i cant think of them now, thanks.
how many fans are 2 wire & 3 wire? can get a 3 pin to 4 pin adapter. as long as heatsink is not moved then don't need new grease. is your monitor digital or analog?
what do you mean 2 wire or 3 wire? -but if i adjust the direction, then would the grease like mush and spread apart? perhaps i should just increase the fan speed or something to cool it down. -im not sure what you mean by analog or digital. im pretty sure its analog though. Dell 2008WFP.
the wires from the fans, are there 2 wires as in black & red or 3 wires as in black, red & green? if cpu heatsink is not removed off cpu then grease is alright. does your monitor have 1 connector to pc or 2? if 2 then that monitor can go either digital or analog.
monitor has one connector. im also wondering, how do i check my video card temps? because im playing this low-end game, but for some reason, a few minutes into the game it freezes. im not sure if it crashes, but the screen freezes, then the monitor detects no signal from the pc. and i cant do anything after that but to restart.
then stay with vga not dvi as won't see difference if using dvi from videocard compared to using vga from videocard.
well, right now im using a DVI cable. since it wouldnt make a difference, can i just stick to it? or would you recomment VGA?
thanks. and also, how do i check my video card temps? i use coretemps for my cpu's, but i dont know how check the videocard.
