Combining Multiple Case Fans

[serani]

What is the norm for connecting multiple case fans?

The stock 120mm fans that came in my case have a connector that combines two 120's into a single power feed.

Are these adapters available without splicing wires? -to combine the power

Any neater way to provide power to about 5ish 80mm fans? Other than just running multiple lines to my mobo.


Thanks Guys

You could get something like this: Molex Y-Adapter

It's the right concept, but wrong connections, I don't know the name of the it, but I believe it is 2-pin, white casing with two small teeth on the bottom part..

They plug in directly to the MOBO

This one: 3-Pin Y-Adapter

The user should excercise caution when hooking up higher powered fans as the motherboard tap usually has a limited current capacity

This one would be a better idea: Dual 3-Pin to 4-Pin Adapter

Ahhh, excellent man. The 3p-4p adapter is absolutely perfect. That way I can run it directly to my PSU instead of loading up a sh!tload of wires towards my MOBO.

Absolutely perfect, now I can add even more fans to my case!! I wonder when Fans will take up more surface area than the actual Case...mauha


Thanks Again ^ ^

Maybe if you put enough fans in the thing you could get it to hover. LOL!
