I bought all the parts for my gaming computer, and planned to put it all in my old case, a Thermaltake Xaser V. The case has 5 case fans, molex connectors, and includes a 4-knob fan controller (fan 1, 2, 3, and 4). I've been searching all over the internet, and I haven't the slightest clue how to connect the 5 fans to the fan controller and into the power supply. Everything else in the computer is correctly installed, I just need to have the fans connected.
Each fan has a cable with a male molex connector, with a female connector hanging off of it, as well as a yellow cable on each marked "signal". Coming from the fan controller are two bundles of cables; one has three male connectors (with females hanging), each marked Fan1, Fan2, Fan3, and one marked "For Power Supply", as well as 3 yellow signal cables marked Fan1, Fan2, and Fan3 as well. Then, there's another bundle of cables coming from the fan controller, with 4 pass-through (male on one and female on the other) molex cables labelled Fan1, Fan2, Fan3, and Fan4, as well as 2 male connectors labelled "For Power Supply". If it'll help, here's a link to the Instruction Manual for this tower (the fans and controller came with the case): http://bit.ly/1aHZD2h The information for the fan cables is on Page 13.
I have never had to assemble a set of molex connectors this complicated, and I literally don't even know where to start. I would assume the ones labelled "For Power Supply" would plug into the female connectors that came with the power supply, but I might be wrong. And as for all the cables from the fans, I know where the yellow signal cables go, but for the molex connectors... Not a clue. Please help, I just spent $1500 on this computer, I'd rather not give up now. Thank you in advance.
