Question How to connect Case Fan hub molex to PSU?

[rjdomo]

Hi! I'm building a PC and I'm having trouble figuring out how to connect my fanhub (Darkflash DR12 Pro) to the PSU (Corsair CV650 non modular). The fan manual is pretty barebones about this.

The fan hub has a male molex (or female, not really sure which one is which) and my PSU also only has the same kind of molex cable so they don't fit together. Do I need some kind of adapter for this or am I missing something? Would really appreciate the help! Thanks!

By what I see the connector you show in first picture goes into hub. So the connector on the other end of that cable should connect to PSU.

No the connector in the first picture is connector that goes into the PSU.

My problem is that it won't fit into the molex on the PSU because they're the same kind as the fanhub ones.

Can you show the picture of the other side of this cable?

Well, they surely can't fit as they are all female connectors.

Otherside like flip it over? or like the other end of the cable? Either way here they are.

That connector has two ends.
At one end you can connect molex from PSU (where label with POWER is written).

Like i said this is the only end on the fanhub connector. It's not chained to anything else like another molex and is attached to the fanhub.

The connector looks like this from the other side (side you're not showing).
You connect molex from PSU there.

No worries, just a failed perception check. Happens to all.
