I have a ram cooler (not for actual cooling, but for flare) whose only connection is 4 pinned molex. or atleast i THINK it is molex. im still confused on what molex is. its 4 pins sticking out on the front...but at the back are 4 holes...so its like a male/female kinda thing...



This is the cooler btw

my psu doesnt seem to have any cables that connect to this? what do i need to buy to make it fit?

and im fairly sure it shud be getting the power from a 6pin on the psu

or...i dunno. Can you guys just tell me how to plug this into my hercules 1600w?

The plug on that cooler allows you to use one that you already have in use. Just plug it in between the connector and the drive. That is what is sometimes called a "pass-through" or "in-line" connector. As you have already noticed, it has both male and female connectors. The female end goes into the drive or other device and the male end connects to the line coming off the PSU.


AH! yes thank you!
