Connecting all those fans?

Hey everyone,

Antec 1200 ships with about a million fans and my BeQuiet 650w PSU has warnings all over the place about connecting one per molex.

My main worry here is cable management and psu stress, it's something like 14w max on the fan gizmos.

I'm only on air for a month or two, i'm usually watercooling.

And my word BeQuiet are stindgy with cable lengths, lol.

You can connect more than one fan to each connector. I connnected 3 to one and two to another.

If you mean the Be Quiet fan only power outputs I wouldn't put too much load on them, but that is 4 fans.

Most mobo's will power 3-4 fans + then you have other molex connectors spare to use.

No ugly fan connectors are going near my motherboard >

I'll just use standard molex for now I think.
Atleast I can stash them round back, piggy backing off each other.
