I have no idea why he had it in an Molex, as I read Molex seems to be less volts no? So maybe that is why the fan started dying? I am also looking for a ARGB extender, as the connection is at the front of the MB, and the connection to the new fan is way too short. So right now it is plugged into a Y MB slot, but only one fan on the Y, so I would guess I am safe to do this and not to over do it for voltage on the MB. I think the guy I asked to helped me yanked all that out and plugged it in to the AIO ports instead, he said it doesn't matter, same same. But it is not plugged into the same place as the installer had plugged it in. Note, I originally had a Cooler Master CPU dual fan heat sink, I pulled that out and put in a Noctura. So I ended up plugging this into an extra cable I saw laying around that connects to the CPU MB 4 pin connector. I can find a 3 pin I think, but not four. I cannot for the life of me find a 4 pin to IDE connector. So I bought a Sickleflow 120 ARGB fan that says it is a 12VDC 0.15A fan. He had connected to a row of 4 Molex connectors. And what I found was that this case fan was a DC12V 0.4A fan, but the connector was Molex, not 3 or 4 pin. Because of the above I just cut the wires and pulled everything through both directions. I just had to change out my rear exhaust fan as it was leaking oil and making noise. I had an installer do all the cabling and installation of components to my system, so the wiring is too tight and too organized to find where stuff leads. I am worried I am going to end up blowing my MB or causing other damage because I am not sure how or where to plug in the fans.
