Hey Guys,
How are you plugging in your Zalman CPU coolers into the BX2 motherboard? The Zalman requires a 4 pin plug in and the CPU fan plug in on the BX2 is a 3 pin. Are you just using a 3 pin fan plug in (rear fan for example)?
Thanks!

Well as it seem you can plug the 3 pin connector from the Zalman fan into the 4 pin CPU fan slot and everything works fine.
