On my new motherboard MSI K9a2 Platinum I need a fan with a 4 PIN cpu power connector in order for the bios to lower the RPMs according to temperature (Smart Fan). Unfortunately the Scythe Ninja Rev B fan uses the old 3 pin cpu connector
![]() So I talked to MSI's customer support and they said that I would need a 3 pin to 4 pin CPU connector for the Smart Fan feature to work. Anyone knows how do I get my hands on it?

with this board it is like this. The K9a2 CF which is the slimmed down version of the Platinum board worked with a 3 pin connector. But with the Platinum they say they only support Smart Fan thru 4 pin connector.
I am also interested in knowing why would they say a converter would work if it is not possible?

anyways they added the function to bios on my request so also the FAN with 3 pin CPU connector now has RPM control thru BIOS.
Go MSI ![]()
