How do I connect case fans to psu. Using molex only. Without any adapter?

ALEXPREDATOR · Jul 17, 2016

This may sound dumb but, how do I connect case fans on my pc straight to psu just using the molex male and female ends. I really wanna do this without any adapters. Pls help!!

usually the male plugs into the female.
if you are missing one of those then you are left with creative engineering, Ie. cutting and splicing the wires directly which I wouldn't suggest.

I have plenty of molex male and female connectors. So I just match em up and the fans will run?

if you have a fan with a molex plug on it it will typically be dual sexed, male on one side female on the other.
the molex from the power supply are male, plug the male (psu) into the female (fan)end, you can then use the male end of the dual sex fan plug to connect another fan.
the dual sexed plug enables many fans on a single molex plug from the PSU.

Can I connect 1 fan on 1 molex connector instead of putting more than 2. I currently have 5 molex(psu) connectors and 5 fans. Those 5 molex connectors on the psu are occupied by the fans. Is this ok?

If you do not need the extra molex plugs for anything then there is no problem
