Fan controller power ?

Go to solution Solved by rjshield,

It's so it doesn't use up a connector on the power supply. For example if your power supply had only one molex connector you could still use this fan controller and another device.

In short leave it unplugged.

Hey Peeps,

I'm almost finished with my gaming pc build, and bought a fan controller to power all the fans.

So I bought this akasa fan controller. http://www.akasa.co.uk/update.php?tpl=product/product.detail.tpl&no=181&type=Accessories&type_sub=Function%20panel&model=AK-FC-08BKV2#

After installing it, It needs a Molex to power the controller.

Then there is this.......

What do I do with the other plug? Does it give me extra voltage?

 

Thanks guys, looking forward to your reply.

If it works, don't worry about it.
