So my PSU has a power cable with multiple 4 pin female molex connectors.
My case has 3 case fans, each fan has a double sided molex, 1 male side, 1 female.
I connect the female molex of the PSU to the male molex side of the rear case fan, leaving the female side. To this female side I connect a male molex which on the other side is a 4 pin(hole) which I then plugged into the 4 pin slot on my mobo labelled sysfan1.
After doing this my system wouldnt even turn on for some reason and I went back to my previous config which was using the PSU cable to connect molex's to the 2 front fans but not at all to the mobo.
The rear fan was the opposite and wasnt connected to the PSU at all and only connected to the 4 pin slot on the mobo. (the PSU cable with Molex connectors isnt big enough to reach all fans so I tried to get atleast 1 set working through trial and error).
Any tips on what I'm doing wrong/how I fix it please?
Thanks
