Hi guys, this is my first message.

I bought Zotac Zbox HD11 but it was getting too hot, 62ºC~90ºC!

So, I check some infos and some people said, buy 1900RPM Slip Stream 120mm Fan.

Ok, Done. Bought.

But, the fan comes with this connectors:



And in Zotac Zbox HD Motherboard there isn't "pin"/"hole" (I don't know how to call it), to connect the fan!!

Please, help me! What can I do?

Thanks!!

Did the same info say how to connect it? I can't imagine suggesting something that isn't compatible or hasn't been done.

well, I think you shoud have done a bit more research.. I don't see how a 120mm will fit in the HD11..



I hardly see any vertical space in there, not to mention you'll have to mod the cover to make some more holes.

About the pinout.. you'll have to mod it to: cut the connector it has and solder the new one, but be carefull, because you'll have to know wich pinout current connector has.

Thanks DaGround, but I don't find how to connect the wires. I'll do what PatrickVogeli said.

Well, some things u do without sense. :p:p

shoud be easy to connect. on the picture you see 2 of those connectors. the upper one looks like this:

red - - black

the one for the fan should be accordingly to that:

red ? yellow black

i doubt you can break anything if you connect them wrong.. so i would just try it until it works
