I guess I should look for a 3 wire fan of the same size and connect it to the motherboard.. You can connect the two wire case fan to the fan header. It would still get power. The only issue with a connection to the motherboard header, is if the fan draws a lot of...

I have a MACHSPEED K8M800-8237 with AMD Athlon 64, 2.2 GHz CPU. It has Phoenix Award BIOS V6, I think. It has two bootable HDDs. I want to boot to each separately. I have done this on another machine by using F8 during boot, and then selecting the HDD from which I want to boot. It works fine. Now I want to do same on this MACHSPEED machine. But I find no function key that will allow me a HDD choice. Do some BIOSs not allow what I want to do?...
