Fan extension cables?

rhysduck · 15 Nov 2009 at 12:51

I'll be ordering these: Sharkoon when they're in stock..

If the supplied leads are not long enough to get to the fan controller and PSU, what extension cables will I need? :confused:

Also, will I need any cables that DO NOT come with the fan controller?

I'm a bit lost.
It's an MFC1 fan controller btw

Thanks.

Youll need theese extension cables for 3 pin fans.

Does the fan controler not have cables running from it.? The reason im asking is that i have those same fans (yep the cables are rather short) i use an akasa junior fan controller that is supplied with extremely long extension cables.

Thanks for the link setter

I havent ordered the controller yet so not entirely sure.
According to the Zalman website, this picture:

shows that the fan controller does come with leads.. How long these are I don't know. :confused:

From reading the reviews on the ocuk product description page, it seems that the cables supplied with the unit are of adequate length, also looks like theyre long enough in the pic youve posted. I dont think youll be needing any extension cables.

Doh! I didn't even think of that!

Thanks again for the help setter

Thanks for the confirmation...

Seems a dead cert that they're of adequate length.
