Newegg apparently don't know the difference between a 4-pin PWM fan connecter, and a standard 4-pin molex power connector.

Go here -
http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=573&name=Case-Fans

Select "Advanced Search" as your search method, and under the "Power Connector" filter, set it to "4 pin", then hit search.

Note how you can't set the search options to only show you PWM fans.

This makes it SUCH a ROYAL pain to search for a good cpu fan.

The "cpu fans & heatsinks" section of their site also lacks the ability to search for "cpu fan only" or "heatsink only", in addition to not having a proper fan power connector filter.

I say we all go spam the blazes out of their product reviews for fans & heatsinks, demanding a proper search system :sniper:

Maybe you just don't know how to search :p

Type in "PWM" as a keyword under advanced search. Leave all the boxes on "Any". And volia! All the PWM fans show up

And the fan you want for your CPU is this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835706022 :D
