Solution S S Sedivy Sep 13, 2017 I wouldn't use molex because then your fan is stuck at max speed at all times and that can get annoyingly loud when you're on idle. Instead, just get an extension cable, they're super cheap: https://www.amazon.ca/Startech-Com-Power-Extension-Cable-M-FAN4EXT12/dp/B0058DN7B8?psc=1&SubscriptionId=AKIAILSHYYTFIVPWUY6Q&tag=duckduckgo-d-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B0058DN7B8 and that was in canadian dollars so even cheaper on american amazon. Or you can just get it from a local computer store, avoid shipping charges.
