Hey guys so I have 4 noctua fans in my system. I connected all the fans to the psu but it seems like its not blowing as hard as they could?? I use the 3:4 pin molex adapter.

Does it because I connects all 4 fans in 1 connection? and each losing power? Like I connect 1 fan with 3:4 molex adapter then connect it with the 2nd fan, then 3rd, then 4th, then I plug all these in psu.
 
Solution
They should all be running at full speed UNLESS you used the "Low Noise Adapters" that come with the fans. Those adapters (that can be inserted into the fan's supply connections) are really just resistors that slow the fan down. Even at full speed, though, Noctua fans are well known for making less noise than most. So MAYBE they are running full speed, but just making less noise than you expected.


I see. For some reason its not blowing that hard lol maybe it just me Idk but thanks.

Ohhhh I see you certainly is right. The fan doesn't make much noise at all.
