I should also mention that on one side of the MX330-X case are cutouts for 
switches labeled 'FAN1' and "FAN2'. The 2 3-pin fan headers on the MOBO seem 
to report to the BIOS. Switched fan power would not so report. The question 
is which fans should be connected to the 2 3-pin fan headers and which 
should be power switched? And where to get the power?

Thanks.
