Hi everyone,
I wanted to install a case system fan in my PC however all the molex power connectors have been taken up by the CD,DVD,DVD-RW and HardDrives. Therefore I'm left with no where to plug my fan since there's no connection on the motherboard either.

Alternative to PSU power connector for Sys Case fan
Hi everyone,
I wanted to install a case system fan in my PC however all the molex power connectors have been taken up by the CD,DVD,DVD-RW and HardDrives. Therefore I'm left with no where to plug my fan since there's no connection on the motherboard either. Before my fan was plugged into the extra molex connector, but the DVD-RW took it's place leaving me with no room to plug it in. It is to note that the case can accomated one fan (so theres no fan for the case right noe) and I didn't install the DVD-RW. |

I found the price I think if a can of cola is 2 sterling pounds in the UK then ur right. BTW do u know any way I can increase the flow or cool my system without any expensive accessories. Just methods and small adjustments maybe because my case only have one opening for a fan ( the back) and I notice that newer systems has three areas.

Good cable management can help.

Tucking away cables in spare drive bays, using a minimum amount of molex if you have two cables, creative use of zip ties. Looks cleaner, will make stuff easier, and will run a lot cooler.
