Question about adding more fans to my build!

Doghen

This is my current build: 

 

Intel core i5 9400F @2.90Ghz Coffee Lake 14nm Technology.
(CPU Cooler: Hyper 212 EVO)
Inno3D GeForce GTX 1060 (6GB) GDDR5X Gaming OC (GPU)

MSI B360M Pro-VH Motherboard.
16GB RAM (Dual-Channel)

1 Nvme.2 SSD 250GB
1 Western Digital NAS Hard disk 2 Terrabyte

1 iiyama 27" Display @75Hz (1080p)
1 iiyama 24" Display @75Hz (1080p)

Corsair RM650X (PSU)

 

(Also there are 4 preinstalled white fans with Molex connected trough my PSU.. and my Fan hub for the 4 other fans will use SATA which is also connected on my Hard disk)
 

And my question is,

can i safely hook up 4 extra fans with a fan hub without frying my PSU or other things?

 

(2x) BeQuiet Pure Wings 2 (DC 12v 0.30a @2000rpm)

(2x) BeQuiet Shadow Wings 2 (DC 6-12v 0.12a @1100rpm)

 

I hope somebody can help me out!

Molex and tale about 4,5 A per connector per 12v / 5v

And sata can take 4A (ithink) per connector per 12 / 5

 

That means you can have about 15 fans per Molex connector

3 molex = 45 fans

 

 

and about 130fans before u will strugle in total

My SATA has 1 hard drive connected trough the whole cable, and i'm going to connect the same SATA also the the fan hub with 4 fans..

and on my Molex there are already 4 fans connected.. i was a little bit worried because i thought it would be a problem 😕 

So my SATA and 4 fans together as mentioned above wouldn't be a problem?

also for my Molex?

1 HDD uses about 1- 1,5Amps 

4 Fans on 1 molex is  1/4 of its capacity... 

 

Ur PSU comes with

1x  4x molex chain  (thats about 60 fans)

1x 3x SataPowa chain (thats about thats about 30fans with adapters ofc) 

1x 2x Satapowa chain (another 20fans with adaters)

 

almost enough to make a pc drone

Okay thanks, and what about Wattage? I couldn't find the correct Wattage for these fans.. 

and also i have 3 SATA cables and 1 Molex cable 🙂

AxV = W

 

0,30a (per fan)  times Volt (Fans uses 12)  = Waattzzap
0,3a * 12v = 3,6w
