hello !

im waiting for my cooler master stacker 830, i bought 6 extra 120 mm fan antec tricool, these fans come with a 3 pin connector (to plug on the mb) and also a 4 pins connector male and female to plug directly on the psu, so i can plug the 6 fans on a single 4 pin molex of my tagan 900 watts, is it safe to do this . anyone here with this case, and 6+ fans, could tell me if i can do it ? or what would be your advice . thank you

Yeh definitely.

You could have up to 30 fans per "array of molex plugs." Ie, max per string; based on 7.5A current capablity of the wire and a 0.25A fan draw.

Not that any sane person would do so, unless your making a case out of fans.
