fans

[Tack]

I ripped some old fans out of old power supplies, but their connectors are only 2pin old school

any way to rig them up to the new motherboard which provides for 3 pin connectors only?

I did a bit of a seach for you and found nothing in regards to "2 pin to 3 pin adapters" for case fans. I'm sure there is a way of doing it but you find it'll most probably not be of standard and convenional ways.

Personally, if it were me I would just rather go out and buy a proper case fan for my PC but hey, that's just me. Maybe some of the other guys here may be able to make a few suggestions for you.

Don't even bother
Case fans are $10 each
The ones out of PSU's are probably worn badly anyway and will be noisy

i think 2 pin and 3 pin connector is just a matter of soldering

Id bet that the wires are probable +-5v and ground, the 2 pin probable grounds out somewhere else

Er, call me country bumpkin, but arn't PSU fans case fans without the sensor wire? That would make the most sense.

P.S. Gravedigging is fun =P

I stick my old PSU fans into one of those power supply cable thingies..with a bit of soldering !
