Power to case fan.

Hi,

I currently have 1 exhaust case fan installed. There are no more available points of powering any more case fans on my motherboard. I would like to fit an intake fan, 92mm Panaflo but I am not sure how to power it. Any suggestions?

Many thanks

Martin

a 4-pin to 3-pin connector should work for you just fine. It connects to the Hard Driver connectors coming out of your power supply. Most of them also have an additional 4-pin connector so that you don't actually lose any Hard drive connectors due to fans.

Here's a link to the Directron connector:

Perhaps Zalmans multi connector cable?
It has a 4 pin (molex connector) in one end and at the other end you get 4 connectors for fans. 2 of these connectors give 12V (full fan speed) and the other 2 give you 5V, great the run fans slowly.

You can build one.

Get a plastic box.
Put a female molex on it.
Drill holes.
Put 3.5mm jacks.
Solder the 12V line or the 5V line, it's your choice.
Solder 3.5mm plugs to you fan's leads.
Done.

This is something I did to plug my 8 fans in my case.
