Molex

LordPugIII

Hey all,

 

I hope you all had a good Christmas. 

 

Now, I really like the Zalman Z9 Neo case in black. It comes with 5 fans. A few of them, 3 I think, are molex connections. I only have one molex connector in my PC, which is on my PSU. How do I go about connecting the other fans?

 

Please don't say buy new fans, I would like to know as there must be some way of doing it, maybe an adapter? Or do they include an adapter?

 

Thank you,

 

LordPugIII.

You can buy splitters. The fans don't take up much power so you don't have to worry too much about drawing a lot from one connector.

Could you find me an adapter please? I could only find one type, which was one molex to 3 3pin fans. That wouldn't work so it would be amazing if u could find me an adapter that would work. 

 

Thank you.

if your case fans only come with molex plugs, you need better case fans...

@manikyath I wasn't intending to use them, I just wanted to know how to do it IF I needed to.

 

Thank you everyone else.

The molex connectors can be daisy chained.
