I got this one for free from my family (They aren't techies so that's why i got this one) so i will just buy a cheap cable instead of a new fan controller because i don't have allot of money

Floppy power but you might want to look into why it melted before replacing it. Cause if it was during operation I can only imagine the amps going through it to do that.

If i connected it to another molex connector the screen didn't work but when i would just connect it to my PSU it melted with allot of smoke..

how many fans are hooked up to the fan controller because it looks like it was the 12v that melted which is probably what it was drawing off of. To melt it like that it would have either had to short or draw way too many amps.

you can easily get another cable but something might be wrong with the fan controller to cause something like that.

I was planning to, but is it my fault or is this a mistake or something from the manufacturer?

as long as you had everything plugged in correctly I would say something is wrong with the device so the manufacturer.
