Where do I plug the case fan into on the mobo? Not the heatsink, the fan that goes on the case. I have a ECS K7S5A and the manual doesnt tell me and either does the case manual.

You won't find it in the manual because you need to use the extra 4-pin Molex connections that come directly from the power supply. The constant draw of multiple case fans would kill a motherboard in nothing flat.

I too have run multiple fans off the same header (before I knew it could cause a problem) But I never did have any problems. But then again, I wasn't using the very powerful fans.
