Hi guys, sorry but i'm a totally noob. So, i want to connect a fan-case via PSU, but honestly i don't know how. I have a xfx 550, the fan has a 2 pin cable.

there are only 2 cables of my psu compatible:

Solution
your first PSU picture is a PSU molex female cable.
your fan cable picture is of the fan's male molex cable.

you connect them the same way any other male > female attachment works.
being only two pins on the fan doesn't matter. just fit them together.

Plug the fan connector into the female molex as pictured in the first link :).
