Greetings. I have an old desktop in desperate need of good airflow, and I want to add 2 3pin 120mm 12v led fans that I was given.
However the mobo headers are occupied by the cpu fan and a front led fan. So, I'm thinking of buying a 4pin molex to 3x3 pin fan adapter either of 5v or 7v directly plugged to the psu.
My question is this: are the fans going to work with a lower voltage adapter? Or should I find a Y splitter that connects to the mobo?
In case it's relevant, here are the fans I was given: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Aigo-Z6-120mm-Computer-PC-Case-Cooling-Fan-LED-Quiet-High-Airflow-CPU-Radiator/1751463_32820194400.html
Thank you for your time.
