I am building my first pc and have a problem fitting the fan cable on the motherboard. The problem is that apparently there's this little plastic thing below the pins of the SYS fan header. The cable doesn't fit as it doesn't have a slot to slide down the pins. Can someone help?? Do I need an adapter or nahh? finger reveal btw
