First of all, please note that this is my first time building a computer
![:D :D]()
, so please excuse the newbie questions
Alright, so i'm working with a Cooler master Storm Scout, and recently, a problem struck me.
While I was looking at the wiring of my fans, i've realized that the Molex connectors from the fans were, somewhat awkward - as in, the connector had the same shape as a Molex, but half the pins are gone, making it so that only one side had pins, and the other was blank.
But first, let me rewind a bit - I have one 120mm LED rear fan, one 140mm LED front fan, and one regular 140mm top fan - if that matters.
The front fan comes with both a small connector with 2 tiny holes, and a full Molex connector. However, the other two, come with the "half Molex" connectors I previously mentioned, while also having the small connector thing, though maybe having three or two tiny holes.
My main question is , can I connect my "regular" Molex power from my Power Supply to the half-Molex's, or do I have to buy some sort of adapter thing?
And a side question; is it required to plug in the side connectors, or are they a separate connector to use if you don't use Molex? Because my Motherboard only comes with a 4 pin fan header.
Any feedback would be deeply appreciated, and I apologize for the long paragraph.
