Does anyone still use molex connectors4/27/2024 So even if it's not a top rated fan, hell, again, I suspect it will serve just fine. one end being a 6pin that goes into my PSU and one end a few sata connectors for HDDs and SSDs. IIRC there's one other brand-new 120mm x 120mm x 30mm fan that also does well but I forget what it is and can't find the make or model at the moment.Īnd finally, I have piles of the stock Fractal Design Dynamic X2-series case fans here as pulls from stock Fractal Design cases in both 120mm and 140mm sizes, and we use plenty with no complaints. Do people really still use molex anymore I find it ridiculous I cant just buy a sata power cable. If you can fit slightly thicker 30mm thick fans instead of the standard 25mm thickness in your use case, the Phanteks T30-120 reviews well. The new unit comes with a Molex 194030014 120V power connector. Again my data is grossly insufficient here. Upgrading an old Dometic Duo-Therm to a Penguin II 651816HXX1C0-01. I would avoid the Arctic Cooling F12 PWM, I have insufficient data for reliability on them but my too-small-a-sample-size-to-be-useful suggests a higher failure rate than I would like. My problem is that I have two female Molex cables dangling inside my case and I dont know how I am to plug them in. ![]() I believe the molex connector doesn’t connect to your motherboard. To be honest, you should consider getting pwm fans which connect to the 4 pon header on the mobo. A Molex connector is a common type of connector used to power internal computer components. ![]() If you are using Molex Wire-to-Wire Connectors or Molex Wire-to-Board Connectors you can count on constant improvement from the manufacturer. Molex product line is following the latest trends and is innovating constantly to follow the latest customers inquiries. So they will run with the same speed all time and no pwm is possible. Is Molex still used Bydmin2020 April 9, 2020April 9, 2020. I am not as familiar with the Phanteks PH-F120MP but for a more affordable 120mm fan that supposedly is good enough- the TechPowerUp review I linked below covers almost all of the fans mentioned so far. My case is the CiT Dominator, my mobo is the ASRock B75 Pro3 and my PSU (not arrived yet) is a Corsair CX600M. I think molex can only be connected to the PSU. The Corsair ML120 Pro seems to perform similarly at a similar price point to the be Quiet! Silent Wings 3. The be Quiet! Silent Wings 3 is also extremely well regarded but is also a premium priced fan (even if it is still a good bit cheaper than the Noctua NF-A12 PWM). Molex is actually a brand name, it’s a company that makes inexpensive nylon plastic-bodied connectors. Video card in her system was a PowerColor AMD ATI Radeon HD5450 with 1GB, a $30 video card which was way better than the Geforce 6150SE integrated that the Dell has in it.Noctua NF-A12 is largely regarded as the best fan money can buy, but they're pricey and honestly most people- even discerning enthusiasts- can have an understandably hard time justifying the price. Adding a 80mm fan tie wrapped to the inside of the frame and blowing air across the passive heatsink made the video card run way cooler and then when touching it later it was just warm to touch but not burning hot. What PSU model do you have that does not have Molex connectors Even the CHEAPEST of power supplies have them and maybe you have a modular unit that simply doesnt have the cables with the Molex plugs on it attached, but looking at that, Im pretty doubtful that. I know this because I was curious as to the temp of the GPU heatsink and touched it and I burned the tip of my finger on the heatsink. No, there are no '3 pin DC to Molex' adapters'. (* It used this floppy power connection as a 5V booster for powering USB devices at front panel vs powered through motherboards USB 5V power ) Iomega Zip Drives ( about 10 years ago ) Other than that, this connection is rarely used anymore, and I have used it myself for adding additional fans inside my case for airflow in which I cut the plug off, wire a fan or 2 off of this power tap direct and insulate it with shrink tube such as a system that I upgraded for my daughter with a passive heatsink video card and the video card was so hot without airflow that you could get a blister if touching the heatsink surface. An 80-conductor, 40-pin cable is used today. Here are some devices I have seen use that plug: 5.25" Bay Temp/Fan Controller with display ( about 8 years ago ) Cheap Communication Conversion Boards ( SATA to IDE ). is used, the master device must connect to the end of the cable. I have seen the small floppy drive power connectors actually used for other devices other than floppy drives that they are more commonly used for.
