What am I missing?

Ok, so I bought a Enermax Temperature Control Panel

it has little plugs for the fans, with "Male" connectors.....

NONE of my fans have any plugs other than power, and all of the fan connections on my motherboard have "Male" connectors also.....so this control panel is absolutely useless to me.... the manual that comes with it simply says "Plug these connectors into your fans!".......Wonderful!!...it's so easy that anybody can do it!!

Did I miss the hidden disclaimer at the bottom of the EULA that says I have to buy a special custom made fan, with the 2-prong connector, in order to use a temperature control panel....

Damn, things like this really piss me off! :mad: :mad2:

:wtf:

Any help would be appreciated....

See if Radio Shack has converter plugs that switch it to female plugs?

Yeah you need fans with the extra wire for temperature sensors. So to answer your question, your missing a third wire on your fans.

Ok, I found out that I need a few adapter plugs that convert the 4-pin power cables into 3-pin, that I can plug these into.

I'm checking into my local Tech shop, to see if they have them.
