I have a system that I use mainly for web design/casual use during the day and for gaming in the evening.
There are 3 case fans and I've discovered that during light use I don't really need them at all and the temps barely change without them. I put silence at a pretty high premium and the case fans add a lot of noise for little benefit. When I game the case fans are actually needed to keep case temps down.
My thought was to rig a toggle switch to control the case fans through a simple molex connector.
Would something like this be sufficient to control 3 case fans safely using it on one of the 12v leads from the PSU?

I'm basically planning to daisychain the 3 fans and use this switch in front of it to turn them on and off.
