Yes thank you very much. Now it's working.

I still have a lil problem. Both fans of the power supply and of the new fan I just fixed turn very slowly which causes the system to heat. What shall I do exactly to increase the speed of both fans: power supply and case system fan. Well everything is new here computer and all fans are new. So I don't doubt that's a problem of a material failure. Thank you.

CyberHaddad,

As your system ran without the fan, then using this adapter would not cause a problem. It will make the new fan run at full speed :http://www.svc.com/3pinto4pinad.html

BTW, where did you actually plug the fan into the motherboard? Just curious.

on the motherboard - I surrounded it by red color on the image attachment

Hello again wb2001

In one of your previous posts you said:

I snipped and rotated your board. It appears to be brown in color.

plug is supposed to be this

Therefore it was exactly there where I plugged the new fan.

CyberHaddad · ‎07-02-2012

OK again it's solved

I solved the isuue of the fans speed using SpeedFan software ... that's all I could do since I found no settings dealing with that.

Now it's amazing. Now the new fan is running real fast without making noise or omething.

Thanks everyone for your great help
