Hello, I've put Fan on front of my case but cable (4pin) is too short to reach mobo, So can i somehow use molex from psu instead without any adapters? Thanks ahead.
 
Solution
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:

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.
