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!

i would also like to know as i have the same cooler, just my motherboard died..i did use the 3 pin controllers on the board i have but u will have to disable the cpu fan alert in the bios so it would boot into windows...as far as if thats a good work around i dont know..all went down on my rig before i could find out...the fan thing didn't kill it tho(just to let ya know)

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.

not correct. cpu-header is 4-pin!
