Hi I wanted to know that after I do the molex mod to my xbox could I attach a fan controller that controls 4 fans. I wanted to know if this is possible, as i am going to use this fan controller http://www.xoxide.com/logisys-illuminated-fan-35controller.html. Also I was wondering if i could use 1 120mm fan a 40mm and 2 80mm fans for this setup together. thanks for replying and reading.

good question bud. i dont see why you couldn't use the molex to power your fan controller,although it does seem to me that running all 4 fans through your xbox power suppley could put a lot of current straign on your system,but i'm not positive on that so by all means get a second opinnion just to be shure,but i think the safest bet would to be to just run a sepret power supply so you dont have to worry about it.i tend to do this with most of my mods if there is a high current draw.i hope this was some help for you. Smile

If its 2 fans and a controller should that be fine then 4 fans? Or I could use your idea with an external power supply like a molex ac adapter. Also would microcenter have the molex ac adapter?
