hey guys, I'm gonna get a new case for my computer which has 5X 80mm fans. THe only problem is where should I plug the fans to. My mobo only has two fan connectors. I have a 250 watt power supply. Is there some kind of adapters that can able me to plug my fan from one of the lines from the powersupply? And is 250 watt enough?
To save you the hassle, you're probably on the outer limit of a 250W PSU, get a 300 or 350 to be safe, and spread the word about this PSU calculator!!!
going by the picture the connectors are standard 4pin molex connectors like that on your psu & hd/rom drives. each fan than can be plugged into each drive than the power connector from the psu is plugged into it. is referred to as daisey chaining
With molexes, daisy chains can obviously be used if supported (some fans dont have passthrough connectors), if not, computer retailers such as savastore in the UK sell splitters for the 3-pin sort for £1.50, probably equates to around $3.
