Have 6 fans in my server case. All 6 are molex. When I plug them in I feel like I am in an airplane.

How in the world do I control these? I have looked at fan controllers and really haven't seen any ones that control molex just 3 or 4 pin.


ghot halp pls

Speedfan
Check on bios

Get new fans.

didnt work. It doesnt recognize the fans. They arent connected to mobo.

There is 6 12v molex fans. Came with the case. I would love to find a header/controller for them but I am not seeing them.

Adapters or old school fan controller

THIS.

Even an old fart like me has 3 or 4 pin fans.

You can always get molex to 3 or 4 pin adapter cables. But it's probably time to just get new fans.

Two ways to buy case fans...

1. Buy them for some esoteric reason that doesn't consider noise.
2. Buy case fans that hit your CFM, SP and noise requirements. If you always consider noise as well as the more understandable specs, you will possibly not even need a fan controller, and could just use one of these...

you need a fan controller, molex only fans will run at 100% at all times

Not because they're molex. But because there are no molex connector fan controllers.

true but i've seen fans that can get powered via molex then be plugged into a controller via a separate connector
