you could plug them into any unused fan connections on your mobo. or you could plug them into a fan controller to control their speed if you had one.

I can hardly understand you. Please make you posts clearer next time.

If it's a 4 pin molex connector, plug it into a free Molex connector from your PSU. if it's a 3 pin, plug them into any fan header's on the mobo (doesn't have to be the CPU fan power). If you don't use the CPU fan power connector, you have to go into the BIOS and disable the fan monitoring because it won't let you post.

as YH mentioned, connect the 3 pin female connection from your fan into the male case fan header located on your motherboard. you haven't mentioned if you have a fan controller or not, but i would suggest having one in order to control fan speeds, temperature and sound levels inside your rig.

Nice pics, Mat.

Also, the CPU fan header is a 4 pin, but if you were to plug in a fan to that header, the notches should line up so that one pin is left out. If that doesn't make sense, I'll try to get a pic later.

36C is not an unreasonable temperature. Your thermal paste may not have cured yet. What thermal paste are you using?

I get 33C-35C idle with my GeminII with the Thermaltake's on it right now.
