Anyone know a solution to this?
I have 4 fans each driven by 3 pin connectors. This contributes to
rather a bit more cable mess in my case than I would like, seeing as 3
of them are connected to molex plugs.
Is there such a thing as a molex to 3 fan plug adapter? I'm thinking
like a power strip of miniature dimentions.
Nevermind, found something

I have no clue what voltages my fans are set to at the moment. They
are just unmodified.
Fans via molexes are kludgy anyway, why not run them from the mobo?

That way you can cut down on molex routes. You can chain them too, I have 3
on one and 2 on another header.
Also assuming your mobo is new enough for PWM headers, you could take
advantage of speedfan software and only have to actually hear it when its
working hard. Play fps on a summers day and its roaring, watching a movie
and its completely silent.
