I have some Sickleflow Coolermaster fans and an NZXT Sentry 2 fan controller, the sickleflow fans come with these molex adapters I think, I was wondering how exaclty you would connect these fans to the fan controller, sorry for such a naive question but I'm new to building the actual pc, thanks in advance!

Just connect a molex connector to controller and then connect 3 pin standard fan connectors to the controller

Sicklefolw like normal fans comes with a 3 pin connector but has an optional plug to connect it directly to psu by using 3 pin to 4 pin connector conveter

So I'll have one extra plug just dangling there?

Ok I think I know what to do now, thanks for the help. Also when I connect the fan controller molex to the PSU and turn my psu on the fan controller doesnt turn on, is there a system fault or is it my fault? Also I have no other components installed (Mobo gpu etc.) so would that be preventing it from turning on?

The wire you linked. I have it too and what is the purpose of one of the molex on it? If I connect it to my fan and the other part to PSU, one connection is just dangling around..
