  • Built up my new PC on Friday night. Started at midnight, up and running with Windows by 2am. Definitely made easier by AWD delivering the motherboard with CPU, cooler and RAM already installed. Also the giant Fractal Design case with very easy cable routing.

    Just trying to work out the case fans. I seem to have a 3 pin power connector for each fan and I connected these up and they are spinning away. I also have a 4 pin connector marked PWM which I believe is to give more control over fan speed. Do I plug this in too?

    Also, any links to a good USB HDD unshucking guide? Need to get a few out from their cases and different guides seem to show different stuff.

    It's usually one or the other, DC or PWM. PWM fans give you a wider range of speeds afaik, so that would be preferable.
