Molex splitter.

Go to solution Solved by aezakmi,

short: it's safe as long as you don't plug 10 fans into it.

 

long: your PSU won't burst into flames because of it, plus, a $2 "china" splitter and a $80 NZXT one is the same, it's literally a cable, of course brands will tell you crap like their cable is made with special copper from japan or top quality insulations from the CERN.

Hello! So I've been wanting to get a NZXT hue+, but it needs a molex connector, I'm all out of molex connectors, so my idea is to get a molex splitter and have one of them going to my pc side fans(there are 2 on the side that use 1 whole molex) and the other going to the NZXT box for power, my question is, will it end up in flames ;) is it safe or not? I wouldn't get some cheap China splitter but a decent quality one. My PSU isn't modular so the splitter wouldn't be coming directly off the PSU but off one of the molex that's already there that the side fans are currently plugged into, thanks :)
