Hi all. I have some build questions about connecting the chassis fans to the PSU , and also my 8800gtx to the PSU as well.
I have 4 fans on the 900 that I need connected, however my MoBo's 4pin connector is already being used by the CPU cooler and it only has two more, 3 pin connectors - my fans have small 4 pin connectors, and larger 4 pin connectors (molex?) on them as well What I have done is connected the bigger 4 pin (molex?) from the fan, to a cable that runs to my PSU.
What I want to know is why I can connect multiple components on the PSU's molex cable, It has a male/female connector on one piece that allows me to piggy back components...does this mean I can piggy back two of my fans onto 1 molex into my PSU? Does each rail supply enough power for that? I don't think I have enough connectors to my PSU otherwise unless I piggy back (e.g. 4 fans, HD, GPU, DVD)., and I don't have a manual that details the power that runs through the rails.
If anyone can shed some light on this for me, and what kind of connectors I need to keep my eye out for to connect my GPU to the PSU I would really appreciate it.
I just don't want to turn on my computer the first time and have it blow up...
Thanks! :biggrin:
