Hey guys,

Can someone tell me if that is gonna work without any problems if I connect multiple 3pin case fans to molex connector like this HERE.

Or is there any other solution instead of buying front fan controller and using motherboard pins. (I would like clean look) :) 

Thanks

No problems. They will just all run at full speed.

The only problem that you will have is noise. The fans will run at full speed; this generates noise. The idea of the motherboard fan ports is to allow the fans to run more slowly, thus quietly, when the components they are cooling are not hot.

Thanks for quick answers.

1 More question. If I buy Corsair fan quiet edition which comes with voltage step-down adapter for lower speed operation will it still run at full speed which is 1650RPM or it will run at 1100RPM as listed on Corsair's website?

Fan is: Air Series AF120 Quiet Edition High Airflow 120mm Fan Twin Pack

Thanks

If the mfg's website says 1100 RPM, it's 1100 RPM.
