Molex Fans Issue

[-Uninformed Josh-]

So I'm changing my case from a Zalman Z9 to a Zalman Z9 Neo Plus however there is an issue with the case fans which I kind of predicted. On the new case there are 5 fans, 4 of which are molex and only one that has a motherboard header connection which is a strange set up but I wouldn't mind too much if I wasn't in my current predicament.

My mobo (MSI Gaming 3 Z97: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/Z97-GAMING-3.html) has only 4 free headers, 3 of which are labelled as system fan headers and one cpu fan header that I use for a case fan since my cpu fan only needs 1 header and there are 2 headers labelled as cpu fan headers. I've not seen any problems with that since that particular case fan has been working fine for years.

So, assuming that's ok, for the new case I have 4 free headers, 1 of which to be used on the 1 fan with the 3 pin mobo connection. That leaves 3 free mobo headers for 4 fans, all of which are molex. My psu (Evga 650 GS: https://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=220-GS-0650-RX) doesn't have any molex connections with it and I can't seem to find a straight answer for a direct connection although I would have assumed that there is some sort of cable that would go from female molex to 6 pin to put in one of the modular psu outputs.

One solution I had considered was to daisy chain 2 of the molex fans (so that I would essentially have 3 things to connect to the 3 mobo headers) and buy 3 molex to 3 pin adapters (however I can't get a straight answer on whether or not it would be ok to connect 2 molex fans to the same mobo header (some results looked somewhat negative).

Here's an image of my gameplan assuming I bought those molex to mobo header adapters.

Should that be fine or is it risky? If so any other solutions?

Thanks for your time, Josh.

Yeah you could use it, it shouldn't be any problem on your image. But which Fans are you using (just look at back sticker and see amperage 0.2A or similar).

Well the two front fans had 0.16A on the stickers but annoyingly the rest don't have stickers at all. They're all 120mm but the ones that are unmarked all have LED whereas the two with an actual amperage rating don't. I'm trying to look up the fans on their site but, just my luck, the servers are having a problem or something because it's responding super slowly.

Well you can always test it, they shouldn't pull above 0.4A~ (for one Fan).

Sadly I don't think I have a meter around, did some snooping though and other 120mm led fans generally draw 4.2W, so considering they're 12V that should work out to about 0.35A if I'm correct. The general consensus seems to be that mobo headers can provide 1A so that's 0.7A for the two daisy chained fans so I'm in the green right? Do you reckon I'm safe in thinking there shouldn't be more than a 0.15A diffence between my fans and ones of the same spec but a different brand?

As i've posted up there 20W should be theoretical "max" but if im wrong someone else can answer as well. Yeah it shouldn't be a problem.

Now my only problem is trying to find the wire I'm looking for, which seems surprisingly difficult. Should be female molex to female 3 pin right? If anyone knew exactly what I was looking for a link would be amazing.
