P182 Tricool fan connections

[xAmritx]

Guys im near the end of my rig building and am stuck on the three tricoolfans in the p182. I have a corsair hx620w psu.

it comes with a Y-adapter which converts the 4pin molex to 2x4-Pin molex but with only two metal pins inside it. How do i attach three fans?

Can i link the molex of the two exhaust fans together and plug that in on one of the branches of the Y-adapter and then plug the front intake fan to the remaining branch?

I'm sitting here qwaiting for a reply

Unfortunetly I have a p180 with 3 of those tri-cool fans, but I'm presuming they're identical ¬_¬'

I have all 3 of them just connected to each other like in a huge row:

The white connectors are the tri-cool fans for reference

It works for me, but it probably depends if your power supply is good quality (:

those fans will draw minimal power, so 3 in parallel wont be a problem

Yes you can. I've got a 182 aswell, and use molex spliiters, As long as the end result is that they're connected to the psu they'll work.

Got all 3 of mine on low setting and leave my pc on overnight with next to no temp rises.
You not using the cable tidies?

I'm a lazy person, and can't be arsed to do use cable ties or anything as I usually mess around with my PC every few weeks as something WILL break or die or something requires me to open my PC case and mess around with it.

I swear to god I am the unluckiest person ever to do with computers ¬_¬'

*edit* Oh yeh my DVD drive has buggered up this morning when I tried to use it, it won't read anything sort of DVD or CD and if you try it will crash explorer.exe and the process won't restart.
Which is slightly annoying but the most confusing thing is I managed to burn a DVD on it this morning, so it's obviously not broken... Reinstalled the drivers for it twice, still nothing >:c
