It's fine because the 12V will always be 12V. Some devices have what's basically a 'bridge' connector that you plug in between one 12V and another 12V device, and all it does is pull some power from it, and the molex connector with a male and female end is just so you don't have to disconnect anything like a hard drive. With that said, you can only do this with fans that do not have speed control (two-wire fans only)Īs long as they are two-wire fans (yellow/black) this is fine. It is a concern if you're trying that with the motherboard fan headers however, as the motherboard is only designed to deal with one fan per header. In general 12V fans running off the PSU Molex or SATA connectors aren't really a concern, they don't pull enough power to melt the wires. COOLING WITHOUT COMPROMISE : The 12 cm Ultrasilent fan wheel provides the required cooling and guarantees 100 correct operation.

READY TO USE : Simple procedures make it possible to install this ATX power supply in a computer case. Can I plug the case fan molex into the CPU cooler molex and then plug the power supply molex connector into the CPU cooler end? The last picture is the two molex devices plugged into each other. ALL CONNECTORS IN THE RIGHT PLACE : 2 x SATA, 1 x 24-pin, 1 x 12V 4+4 pin, 2 x Molex, 1 x Floppy.

Accidental shorts can definitely cause the full system not to run.I have case fans with a controller that connects via molex and an AIO CPU cooler that connects via molex, but it has a female and a male connector. I have two of them and neither will come out, but the 140mm fans connector comes out. Or maybe the stacking thing can allow a reversal. Its a 3-pin molex connector for an NZXT 120mm Performance Case Fan. Maybe one of the index guides has been broken off allowing a reverse condition. If you could post a pic (closeup of all the fan connectors you've been using) we could possibly tell what's going on. Decent fans are polarity protected with a diode, so they won't run if plugged in in a reverse polarity - usually you'd have to force the connector to do that as they have guides to line them up properly. You can usually disable that CPU protection feature in the BIOS setup. Some systems won't work without a properly working fan with a working speed sensor connected to the CPU fan header, so if you were trying to power the LED lead separately and from the CPU fan header, then that might be your problem. But NONE of this should cause your system to die unless you have some polarity reversed or some short somewhere. Molex's own specs say 10A, odd discrepancy, but whatever.

The Molex 8981 Series connection handles 11A per pin. Noctua NF-P12 redux-1700 PWM, High Performance Cooling Fan for Desktop, 4-Pin, 1700 RPM (120mm, Grey) 15.95 15.

Maybe try putting some of those other devices such as the cold cathodes on a separate connector as they tend to draw more power. Power up to two 3-Pin/4-Pin PC case fans with a Molex connector Cable Length is 27cm / 10.6inch, not includes all connectors length. You can use one of the 3-pin to Molex (PSU) adapters on the LEDs to do that. The connector itself has a maximum threshold of 13A.

For the LEDs to retain full brigtness while allowing the fan speed to be controlled, you unstack the connectors and plug the LED connector onto uncontrolled power and the power connector to the controlled voltage.

If you do stack them together, then both get the same power.

The 3-pin LED connector stacks onto the 3-pin power connector.
