which as you can see is powered by Molex 4 pin connector, which will run at full pelt and be noisy if I hook it directly into my PSU.

The above link is to my fan controller, in which I have One channel left vacant.

So basically I want a cable that connects this molex device (the exhaust fan) to my NZXT fan controller- so molex to female 3/4 pin fan connector.

What I am trying to achieve is to modify the voltage and the speed of this exhaust fan. Is this even possible ??

Your help as ever will be much appreciated! :)

The problem with your fan is that it only has two wires coming out of it's terminals(from the fan motor) and it's running off +12v thus the reason why it's running at full blast.

Further reading here and here. In essence it's not advised to modify your fans that run off molex power and as such should be left on their own. It'll be a better idea to purchase fans that run off 3 pin or a 4 pin PWM header and later connect them to the fan controller. The stock fan(s) or the cooler you have now can be sold at a later date.

Perhaps pass on your full systems specs so a different route could be suggested for better airflow...?
