Molex passthrough passthrough

Tetras · 14 Aug 2006 at 11:30

I have 4 80mm case fans in a single case (yes it does sound like a turbine

) that each have molex passthroughs built into the 4 pin adapter. As I don't have that many molexes (especially with 2 IDE hard drives), is it ok to daisy chain passthroughs? (i.e. connect them one after the other: >>>>) I'm not missing some important rule on how to use passthroughs or overload your power supply?

Nope thats fine

You can only overload it if you put like a million fans in

Thanks, daisy chain it is

Thats fine as has been said, I have ran 6 case fans and a CDRW of one molex on a 330w PSU before.

And I was worried about 2 fans on a passthrough :eek:

Yeah, unless you do something silly like run delta focused flow (screamers) or vantec tornados, then you'll be fine. If you do, then you'll be needing a supply of earplugs instead.
