Title: [WTB] Fan molex connector?
Post by: OgNasty on April 01, 2012, 04:41:17 PM
I want to power a fan off a molex connector from my PSU instead of a motherboard.  I assume this is possible with a cable of some kind, although I'm admittedly too lazy to research myself (although I did do a search on the forum).  Anyone care to provide me a name or link to such a cable to assist me?

Newegg has free shipping. If you only need 1, Newegg could be cheaper depending on where you live. However svc is certainly cheaper on 2+.


I'm wondering how much Amazon would be with a prime account. Gogo student 2 day free shipping.

Picked up over 120 adapters for myself from SVC about a month ago.

Also just noticed that was a sale price, the rest of the adapters are a normal priced. Pays to shop I guess.
