[SOLVED] Sata Power to Molex adapter for my 3 case fans?

[andreivy_]

So I just bought the Montech X2 Mesh case and all of the 3 fans (1x120mm & 2x240mm) have molex connections. My power supply is non-modular and doesn't have a molex cable. I was wondering if with this adapter: https://www.amazon.com/-/es/StarTec...f00c08&pd_rd_wg=0RwNR&pd_rd_i=B00GK8SYCW&th=1 should be enough to connect all my three fans with no problem as my power supply has sata power cables to use the adapter. Is there any issue I'm not seeing? You can ask for more details.

Yes, power levels are same for Molex or SATA.

A PSU without molex? What's the brand and model?

When connecting the fans to molex they always run at 100% speed and will be very loud. Is that what you want? Better replace the fans for PWM controlled fans.

I got the PSU from second hand, it's an EVGA 400w 80 white, I don't have the model but that's the information I have, also it doesn't have a power switch if that helps you to identify it.

What I can say is that the PSU has some cables cutted and tapped, so maybe it actually had a molex cable? idk.

And about the fans, I want to know just HOW LOUD they can be, at least an idea, I'm trying to look for videos.

Thank you for your response tho

Don't use it, it's a very bad PSU. Even when it was new it was junk. You don't want to power anything with it.

What CPU and GPU do you have?

edit: btw the fans in the front of your Montech case are 140mm, not 240mm.

Before I was using an i7 3770 and a gtx 1060 3gb, now a r3 3300x and (possibly) a gtx 1650 4gb (my 1060 is possibly dead, but can't confirm yet), yesterday I built the pc and it always stayed on VGA led on my b450 aorus m, but obviously that's another story.

You don't want to power a $400 GPU with a junk PSU like a second hand EVGA 400w 80+ White with cables cut off. Replace it!!!

Aight, thanks for the response. My bad with the fans, I knew they were 140mm 😛
