How to run fans at 12v

[Josh Weston]

So, my build is on standstill for now until I get my power supply sorted (curse you, Aria), but I have installed 3 Noctua (2x3pin and 1pwm) fans, plus the two fans on the 'D14, plus the two fans included with the case itself. Now...I have two molex adapters which I can connect a fan to, but I can't believe that one molex = one 12v fan. So...fan splitter cables?

I'm so confused right now!

Edit: Although, now I think about it, the two stock case fans I shall most likely run off of the fan controller, as I imagine they'd be rather noisy at 12v.

yep you can get splitters one molex to three fans generally, but you can also get sata splitters if you don't have any spare molex, whatever's tidiest for your cables

Thankyou

Looks like I need to look for some more splitters.

Well, I wish I had double checked this topic before making the Amazon purchase...

Regardless, thankyou very much for the offer! If I ever expand my case's fans any more, I may just be giving you a message.

Seriously, thankyou
