all molex drives would need a full pin connector and not only yellow or red cables to function. Like HDD or DVD. These connectors would fit but not work.

Connect the yellow one to a 12Volt fan or fan speed adjuster and the red one to a 5Volt fan device.

Which power supply are you using?

A full Molex connector would connect to DVD, HDD devices only.

the two pin molex usually connect to fans or similar, which device do you wanna connect to the PSU?
I honestly don't know lol there are a bunch of cables coming from the top front of the case, it's hard to isolate which ones belong to which device/port. (but i will try to check harder, i have a DVD drive so one of those must be his)
My problem is that the taller PSU one doesn't seem to fit with neither of the PC's (the short does)
