How do i use my fan controller w/ my mobo?

slopsty · Feb 2, 2017

Hi guys, i got a new mobo and i haven't connected my fan controller because there is no molex connector on the mobo. I currently have this fan controller

and this is my mobo

Would I need an adapter or something?
If so where would i need to plug the adapter in? one of the chassis fan headers?

Molex plug is with PSU, not MB. If it has only SATA connectors you can get SATA to Molex adapter. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Serial-Molex-Power-Adaptor-Convertor/dp/B000ZMCYQG

oh thanks for clearing things up, i honestly had no clue what i was talking about but i just checked my old mobo and the fan controller was in the pcie_pwr1 slot. The items you recommended should be fine for powering my fan controller right? Will be buying soon. Thanks a lot

Yes, should be way more than enough power coming from it.
