Just purchased a Mo-Ra 360 8 fans controller board Heat killer pump and Res. Need help with the fans.
Wanting to know if one molex connector will be ok to power these 8 fans.
Will run pump on a separate molex.
Also does anyone know what fans these are. They click together like the lian li. Interlink.

They look like Lian-Li fans to me, and that's certainly the Lian-Li logo! Unless they're knockoff's then that's probably what you've got. Did you get the whole setup as-is or something?

A single molex is plenty to handle 8 fans, that's only ~26W. Are you concerned about the molex or whatever is supplying it? If it's straight from the PSU then you're absolutely fine.

Yep was concerned that they might Draw to much power connected to the octo aquacomputer Controller. Was running all fans and heatrkiller pump with one molex.
might run pump on seperate molex to be on the safe side.

Was wondering as the Molex was only meant for 55 watts.

It depends on what rails you're using, as molex has both 5v and 12v. Depending on the wire guage they should be rated for somewhere in the region of 11A each which would give you 55W on the 5v rail and 132W on the 12v.

As the fans are 12v, I would assume that the octo just passes that fairly directly through to the fans without any fuss, thus giving you in the region of 130W to work with. However, I'm no electronics engineer and I've never owned one to be able to take a look at it, so take from that what you will.
