Hey guys, I got a new case from a local pc shop. It came with a 3 case fans that were all connected to a molex connector. I bought this PSU around 2015 and have had no problems at all since then. But after several moves, I have lost the extra cords that came with everything, including one of the cords that would let me power the fans through that molex connector. I ended up getting into contact with Thermaltake to see if I can get an extra cord, but they no longer make that model and can't help me, even though I should still have a valid warranty. Warranty might just be for if the PSU faults, regardless. I am trying to figure out a replacement. Seeing so many crappy designs and iterations over the years, I don't really know which companies are reputable anymore.

 

Here is my build:

AMD Ryzen 9 5900x - ROG STRIX B450 Aorus Wifi - 4x8GB 288-Pin DDR4 3000 G.Skill Ripjaws V Series - ThermalTake Toughpower 850W - Founders Edition 3080 TI

You don't need to get an official replacement part from Thermaltake, you can buy an aftermarket MOLEX adapter and it should work.

Been told, and have seen videos were getting random cords that aren't supported or made specifically with your PSU's pins in mind. Can result in a dead PSU or worse, other parts.

There are also options that don't plug into the PSU directly. It just sounds like a waste to me to replace a perfectly fine PSU because of a missing adapter.
