I have 13 fans in my case, excluding the CPU fan.

I need to group them up like this:
3
2
3
3
2

Or at least thats the config that would require the most amount of splitters.

My question is.. whats the best cable to use to connect that many molexs into this fan controller?

that into this:

Is there any tidier way of doing it? Doesn't look like I can get rid of one of the connectors on the 3pin that I dont need does it?

Its gunna be mayhem!
 
Phobya make some 2,4,6 and 9 way splitters that are pre braided, Overclockers don't stock them tho unfortunatly but worth a look.
 
Oh god you mentioned braiding.. I'm gunna end up having to braid all of my fans for neat-ness.. I hate you, I hate you and I hate you.

Thanks!
 
They're all 4 pin

These but with blue LEDs in.

How about like this:

As I can link the actual 4pins together into one, then off into a splitter.

The problem is I have a lot of wires going to the train of 4pins which will be a beast to braid so I was thinking maybe the best way to do it is to run them all to a central point along the case so they're flush and maybe cover them with insulation tape that way they're not freeflowing and out the way but aswell as being concealed, luckily I have a black case..

Any ideas? :)
 
Ahh molex, thought they were 3 pin pwm connectors, u cna daisy chain em togeather but u will need a 4 pin molex to 3 pin pwm adapter for each bank of fans.
Edit: That first link u posted is no good for that as the 3 pin has no power going through it.
 
Bah so really I need 4 pin straight to female three pin, thatd make the most sense? Going by picture two on the fancontroller.. they look like male connections aye?
