I'm looking to have 5 case fans in my case and they're all going to use 4 pin or 3 pin connectors. My motherboard doesn't have enough connectors so I'm looking to invest in adapters. http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX5153 This is the adapter I'm planning on buying.
Now I was wondering if I could buy 4 of these adapters, and plug the first one into the second one (3 x 3 pin), then the second one into the third one, then third to fourth, leaving me with 5 3-pin connectors that I could connect all my fans to. I want to do this instead of buying a fan controller.
Now, would there be any power lost? because if I kept connecting the cables together would the current get weaker and weaker each time? Would putting the 3-pin female on the 4-pin (and vice versa) male be bad? what would it limit? Thanks to anyone who replies
