no idea, but pretty sure they are called something to this effect. ".1" female crimp terminal" Lots of info about crimping here : Common wire-to-board, wire-to-wire connectors, and crimp tools | Matt's Tech Pages

Yeah, I think it was the thin cheapo mesh used as an air filter, with spacers installed the sound is gone. also, Velcro mounted SSD ;)

Notes so far.. For some reason the fan I added to the bottom makes noice :( (Noctua NF-P14s redux-1200) In the front is a PWM version parrall with the stock intel CPU cooler, no sound other than usual air movement. Bottom feet seem small, looking at the pictures again they are obviously...

Most likely only to allow pwm fans to connect to the board.

If the manual says +5V for the fourth pin, it is a voltage regulated header, you can compare that to the description of the cpu header that properly says PWM on the fourth pin.

Are you suposed to cut a hole if you want to mount fans there:confused:

As people have already mentioned the real solution is not new pc, but install a new breaker+cable for your spaceheater ☺, or if existing cables allow upgrade the breaker ie. 10A to 13A is common here. If you upgrade your "inefficient" pc and tv, they would produce less heat, and you...

Hello guys.. My second fan header on the GigaByte GA-H97Z-WIFI board is of the "fake 4Pin" kind, meaning it is just voltage controlled... So sad panda me... :( Does anyone know if someone makes a compact PWM controller, perhaps one that fits the 2.5" form factor.. ? I guess they don't...

I spend all day reading about mainboards last night.. the price range is quire huge.. so really try to narrow down what features you need, socket, support sli/crossfire, usb headers on board, number of fan headers, number of drives you want to install, build in wifi.. color.. and so forth...

a 'VGA ribbon cable' brings up options if you want a ready made adapter.

Suggestion. Rotate the GFX Card so MB and Card face the same way, that way you can have a clear side panel for people into that. :)

a PT100 sensor happens to be 100 Ohm at 0C :D enough said.

@Urelure Thanks for you feedback, and I certainly follow what you mean. I've ordered the NH-C14 as you suggested, I think it is the one I've seen on pictures also. Looking into my old case (Fractral Arc Mini) the thing that worries me most is going from awesome cable management to no cable...

Thanks for the suggestion, I haven't really decided on 3.5" HDD yet.. I have so many in my current PC that in any case didn't want to buy more. As for the maximus board, only really the fan headers.. :X the Z97I-Plus looks better and is waaay cheaper too.. guess it is habit since I went with...

Thanks to Necere and XeiNika for answering my previous questions! :D As I order parts, more questions pop up. :) Parts so far. 1. Aircooler, since I was stupid again.. (never used the OC ability in my current build). I like the design where the heatsink is very near the fan on the side...
