Hey guys i wanna add more chassis fans but my matx mobo can only support 1 fan inwas thinking to buy a fan hub but i think it wouldnt be efficient to have a 3 pin powering 3 fans at the same time so i wanted to buy a adapter to connect my fan to psu 4 pin molex but my v550 only has perperiphal and floppy (not sure if thats how you spell it. It would be nice if someone can tell me how to connect it to my psu another way
How to connect case fans to psu if my psu dont have a molex cable
