I have recently purchased the aforementioned HSF. When I first pulled it out of the box I saw that it had a seperate twelve volt molex connector. I thought "wow, guess this baby needs some juice huh?"
so then I realized that i had no additional molex connectors coming off my power supply, but i did have one goin into a sort of fan bus that i have made to attach a side, top and back, system fan. The fans runs into the "bus" and then it runs into the twleve volt PS connector. Well i thought to my self, why not cut the red and black wires coming off the HSF and run them into my bus. I did so and it worked well enough, or so i thought. I checked the cpu TTemp later and found under load it was running at 120 which is more that with my volcano. i also noticed the nouise wasnt nearly as bad as I had anticipated. So i resoldered the red and black wires to the molex pins and ran it straight to the power supply. SUCCESS! i now sounded like an airplane was constantly running in my room and it ran at 105 under load. My problem is , with no additional twelve volt wires coming out of the PS what can I hook my system fans up to, can i splice in another molex connector?(sorry for the massive post)
