Fan Header for MSI P67A-GD53-B3 Motherboard LGA1155 Intel P67

Hello,

I have a MSI P67A-GD53-B3 Motherboard LGA1155 Intel P67 ATX RAID.

My CPU heatsink (Corsair H50 - requires pump control and fan control headers) fan has a four pin header (incl control). I cannot find on the board this 4 pin header for the CPU heatsink fan. Am I missing something?

Have another look:



Point your eyes to the memory slots and look above the top slot on the right ("DDR3 Dual Channel Memory Optimizer Technology >[....]<-- CPU  FAN HEADER.

Thanks for that! I am using a Corsair H50 water cooler. So the motor I believe uses the 4 pin header to control the pump speed. The fan which comes with the cooler (which sits on the radiator) is the one I am referring to. Because the 4 pin header is used up there are only 3 pin headers left (4 in total I think). How can I control the fan for the water cooler using a 3 pin header? Is there a way?

Recommend you put your pump on a 3pin header to have constant flow and then connect your cooling fan to the 4 pin header to regulate the fan speed.
