molex

Good afternoon, I'm new to PC building and have opted for a simple 5 fan configuration powered from my power supply via 4 pin molex to pull hot air away from my heatsinks. I have ordered a on/off switch so I can turn three of the fans off when I am not gaming to save power and cause less noise...

My friend bought some old used Cooler Master Elite 370 . Front panel HDD Led connector is missing and there is Molex (2pins) connector from the IO panel. I connected the Molex to PSU molex cable but i dont know for what it is.Its not labeld anything. Is it safe if i leave it connected or...

I just reconfigured my fan setup in my micro atx case, replacing one fan and installing 4 all new ones in a way I've never done it before. Unsurprisingly, the 4 new ones aren't spinning. I have 3 total PWM fan slots on my motherboard; 1 for the cpu fan, 1 for the built in intake fan and 1 for...

I am trying to upgrade my AAXA projector by replacing the really noisy fans. The original fans are 50x50x10mm 3-pin 12V fans rated for 0.19A. There are two of them, each with their own 3-pin port (pretty sure they are using micro JST connectors) on the circuit. My first attempt at this was to...

Hi, my old GTX 1060 3GB has recently died, and I got a great deal on an almost brand new GTX 1660Ti (for 120 bucks, with still valid warranty...). When I bought my PC, I knew very little about the hardware, that was 4 years ago. The previous 1060 was powered by: MBD->6-pin...

Hello All, I am wondering if this board could be added to a PC and be powered by the current PSU? If so are there any adapter cables that can utilise spare Molex cables and turn them in to a 10 pin EPS ( I think its an EPS ). Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers See pics below, If...

I have an old Xerox plotter which uses a computer called a Xerox Accxes controller. Today, when I attempted to power it on, I heard a pop and I could smell a burnt electrical scent. My guess is that the power supply has failed as now no lights will light on the motherboard. The power supply is...

So I have 6 case fans that came with the case. The fans all only have one cable coming off of them connected to a female/male molex connection. They came already connected in a train. I have the rgb controller conmected to the molex train and the psu, but i have no rgb input for the controller...

Where does the (LED_SW) go in a Msi Pro H610M-B? And how can I change fan colours if they are connected directly to psu by molex? Five molex fans, all connected together to one psu cable. Cannot control RGB, how can I? Where does LED_SW go in a motherboard? I'm so confused :(

Heya all, I'd like to ask is it safe to connect 3 case fans to a single SYS_FAN1 Header in my motherboard? My specs : Processor : AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4650G Motherboard : MSI B450M-A PRO MAX AM4 GPU : MSI Radeon RX 570 ARMOR MK2 8GB OC GDDR5 RAM : Netac 2x8GB SR 3200MHz CL16 DDR4 SSD : ADATA SU650...

So I have an Xbox one X that seems to have some problems with its hdd connector cable and I want to create my own adapter. Thus as i state in the title i am trying to understand what voltage each pin is carrying. The motherboard hdd power connection is this. And the cable going in there is this...

So basically I have two 80mm fans I stuck in the back of my pc and am wondering why they aren't turning on. Here is a picture of the connector I am using. The female molex on the fans seems to be straight negative positive connection, but the male molex has 3 pins. I don't know what to think. I...

So I just put my pc together yesterday and I was having trouble with the RGB on my cpu cooler (Cooler Master Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition). It needed a molex cable to hook to the psu (be quiet! Straight power 11 650w platinum) and the only one I had was a cable that came with the PSU which the...

Hi, i was wondering if i can power a 92mm fan and the rgb on the frontpanel on my case from a sata to molex splitter. Im selling this pc so i need to know if this is 100% safe. Idk how to add pictures but it is a goobay sata to molex splitter and a delta 350w psu. The psu has no molex cables so...

Hello! Recently I got a new case and with it 2 extra fans (for a total of 9). I got 2 fan controllers: one that supports up to 8 fans (6 pin connector) + 2 LED plugs and the other one that supports 6 fans (6 pin connector). The extra 2 fans that I got only got a Molex connector (nothing else...

Right now i have 1 chassis fan and the cpu fan, where the chassis fan is connected to a molex (running always at 100%), and the cpu fan is connected to the cpu fan header. Im looking into moving to a new case and I'll have to add some fans. New setup will be 4 case fans and a cpu fan. Im...

Sorry if I’m just being really dumb right now. I’m trying to leak test my first custom loop but I can’t figure out how to plug the pump into the PSU. I’m using this https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-classic-dp-front-pc-o11d-d-rgb-spc-pwm and the header coming off it is a 4-pin that goes into a fan...

Hi guys! I have an old pc and I won’t buy a new one before ddr5 and the new chipsets are out. I just bought a crucial mx500 250gb. I have an old dirt cheap 400w power supply with 2 sata cables. My problem is that both cables are missing 3 pins next from the L shaped notch. I searched for answers...

My first post on the forum, so please let me know if I've done anything wrong. My friend has offered me a GTX 1660 Super for a very low price to replace my current GTX 1060. The 1060 only requires one 6-pin connector so no worries there. However, 1660's need an 8-pin. I know people have used...

hi my guys, anyone know the maximum amps for the NZXT case edition Aer F120s? (model number: RF-AF12C-XZ ; ones found stock in the h710 cases and others) - the stickers reads 12VDC 0.16 A but I doubt that's the max amperage, probably like the average as that seems very low compared to my...

I was thinking of installing a new fan in my computer. I was checking what sort of connections my computer has and I noticed that my system fan is only a 3 pin even though my motherboard has a 4pin slot. I was checking out my PSU and I noticed that it has 3 molex slots and a 4pin input. Not an...

My power supply is the corsair AX1500i and I no longer have all the cords that came with it. AX1500i Digital ATX Power Supply — 1500 Watt Fully-Modular PSU (corsair.com) I'm trying to run a pump but I'm not sure how to connect it without the needed molex cord: Amazon.com: Alphacool VPP655 - PWM...

I hope the title was clear, I'm planning on connecting one fan into a port on the motherboard (z490) and running the molex that hangs off of it to the second case fan. Will this allow me to adjust both fans, in terms of RPM? Or will it cause the fan connected to the first one through the Molex...

Hi all the current PSU I have in a 12 year old rig is 14 pins and is currently supporting a GTX 670. I want to upgrade to GTX 1660 super (16 pins 2x8). I have a 2x 6 pin and 1 x 2 pin. (14 pins) After some research i can see that it might be possible use a molex adaptor. But most adapters i...

So I've bought Gigabyte 3060Ti Gaming OC Pro, but didn't noted that it comes with extra 6-pin PCI-e connector compared to non-Pro version. Problem is I have older PSU that comes only with single 6+2 PCI-e connector, which if possible I would rather avoid to replace. PSU in question is Chieftec...

I have modular PSU Antec NeoEco 550M which comes with Female Molex at the end of Sata Power cables ( may be for older HDD's). My case had Fan hub with it, but its power cord is also female molex :( I am not able to get male to male molex cable where I stay.. Any suggestions on how i can make...

Hi everyone! This is my first time building and I am a complete beginner. Please kindly excuse any dumb questions that might come your way. I connected the radiator and system fan to the motherboard (both LED and power) Apart from that I have two RGB fans: 1. 2x Apevia RGB fans These are the...

I am building a desktop with a bunch of old had disks, but am running out of PSU to sata cable connections. My PSU has 2 additional PSU to Molex connectors lying around. Can I use these to connect power to 4 additional hard drives ? See pic link: PSU and Molex PSU Model: Cooler master 800W...

Why do PSU Molex cables generally provide than 3 Molex connectors at the other end? Is it because you can connect more than one device, i.e., D5 pump and fan controller, to one cable? Can anyone please provide a good resource that provides additional information.

I have a modular power supply (Corsair CX550M). I bought a seagate barracuda 2tb. It didn't come with any cables and I realised I needed to buy them so I bought a sata cable and also this cable which I though would power my hard drive. Turns out it's male and I need female. I cannot for the life...

Can it do it or i am assured to have problem if i do so. If possible can i put it on my SSD too?

Hello, I am planning on using a Cooler Master CPU cooler in my PC, and since my motherboard does not have a 4 pin RGB controller I would be using their included RGB button controller which is powered from Molex. I do not have any Molex connectors on my power supply, so I was wondering if it was...

I am aware of the old adage "Molex to SATA, lose all your data." but I don't have enough money for a good PSU at the moment, so I have no choice but to use one of these adapters. I understand that I should buy the punchdown-type cables instead of the molded ones since the latter always ends up...

I'm upgrading the GPU in my HP Pavillion h8-1170uk (sorry). I bought the GTX 1660 only to find out my mobo isn't compatible thanks to the lack of UEFI Bios. With this in mind, I'm trying to find a non-UEFI compatible card that will run on a 460w PSU. I'm also wanting 4GB of GDDR5 for some of...

Hi guys and girls, I am planning on upgrading my rx 460 to an MSI R9 390 GAMING card. But I have a question. On my PSU I have a 6 pin connector and 2 molex connectors. I do not have an 8 pin. So I was wondering if I could buy a molex to 8 pin converter and use that. Buying a new PSU is out of my...
