Problem building comp

vivrantpig · March 15th, 2003

i got my comp parts today and was jus in the process of building it when i ran into a problem.. where do i connect the fans?? they fit in the connecters on the power supply.. but it only comes with 3 and i already put em in my 2 cdrs and my HDD... so how am i supposed to connect em?? btw i got 3 case fans...

I'm woundering if there are some sort of power supply splitters that could split 1 into 2?

vivrantpig · March 15th, 2003

well if ur one of the ppl dat got like 7 fans in their comp tell me how u did it

Y cables

vivrantpig · March 15th, 2003

what's the smaller thing on the top for anyways?

zerocopy · March 15th, 2003

im pretty sure y cables are splitters and not converters or i maybe wrong.

wolfmaster · March 15th, 2003

Or me think (my Guess) would the smaller plug goes into the fan and the others go from power to motherboard

thats how i mettled my 66mhz pc so try that

vivrantpig · March 15th, 2003

no the fan would be able to plug into one of the bigger ones but not the small one...my pc is not old.. i jus bought all new parts from newegg...

i meant that if you had a old pc then you could have a look

vivrantpig · March 15th, 2003

i have a fan like thisss... how do i connect it!!?!!?

wolfmaster · March 15th, 2003

well one would go in to power supply (maybe don't know for sure) and then in to the mother board maybe

vivrantpig · March 15th, 2003

omg im a complete moron lol... the fan comes with an extension.. so it plugs into one of the plugs in the psu.. and another plug can be used for my cdr.. dam im an idiot.. sorry for troubling u guys.. lol

wolfmaster · March 15th, 2003

No Problem

Gald that you got it fixed

zerocopy · March 15th, 2003

you dont need splitters for those, just plug it in and on the opposite end of the fan's cable you can plug in another one.

nevermind this post. Problem solved

lol, i was wondering the same thing 4days ago while building my comp. i woulda found the thread earlier i woulda been able to answer it right away cuz i was thinking the same thing u were.

It takes power directly from the PSU the other end could be used to power another fan or a CD/HD drive
