    How to connect all 4 Antec 900 fans to Corsair 520HX ?

    My rig is here!

    I have the Antec 900 and the Corsair 520HX power supply.

    The case has 4 fans! Two 120mm fans in the front, one 120mm in the back, and one 200mm at the top.

    I'm new at building and I only see 1 connector that will connect 2 fans that comes with the Corsair PSU. There are some other peripheral type connectors as well.

    I only have 1 hdd and 1 optical drive and GTS 8800.

    How the heck do I get all these fans connected to the Corsair 520HX ??

    Anyone know?? (Especially owners of both products)

    Thanks in advance!

    - GA-P35-DS3R (stable even with EIST and C1E enabled)
    - E6420 @ 3.2ghz 1.37v
    - Thermalright 120 Extreme w/Scythe S-Flex F
    - 4gb's Crucial Ballistix 800 (two 2x1 kits) @ 4-4-4-12
    - Evga GTS 8800 640 @ stock
    - 320gb Seagate Barracuda 7200.10
    - Samsung 18x DVD burner
    - Corsair 520HX
    - Antec 900 - all fans on low!
    - Temps: 30c/45c Idle/Orthos
    - Vista 64-bit OEM Home Premium
    - 19" Samsung 2ms LCD (906BW - no ghosting/bleeding)

    I don't need to OC any higher, nor OC my GPU, as all my games (S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Penumbra, COD 2, FarCry, Call of Juarez) run on MAX settings with killer framerates (avg. 55 FPS per a quick Fraps run in Stalker)

    OK, learning as I go. Each fan has a passthrough connector. So I attached all 4 fans together this way.

    The 200mm + (3) 120mm's are all connected through their passthroughs.

    Now I simply connect a molex I believe, but I dont know what molex means LOL

    Bill, I'd appreciate if you'd keep on posting your impressions of your new build, such as Vista64, speed of system, etc.

    I'm in the process of gathering hardware for an upgrade from XP3000+ NF2 system, something similar from where you came from.

    molex is the type of connector used to power ATA drives, and other peripherals inside the case. Molex is the name of the company that first used it. No real meaning per se.

    Yes, you can use a molex to connect it.
