| 1299727 | 2012-09-08 23:00:00 | Received a box of ikonik LED fans from a mate at work. I have never come across a 2-plug fan system before, so what will I need to get these running (LED as well)? (forgive the blurry close-up.. I'm not the best camera man in the world lol) |

So, you can screw it to the front/back of the case. And so it'll connect to a fan header Something similar to this (www.acousticpc.com). Or this (www.google.co.nz) But if you get the molex adapter, if you want to see the rpm of the fan, you cant. It needs to be connected to a fan header |

| 1299730 | 2012-09-09 03:48:00 | I wonder if I could wire it so that more than one fan is being run by a single molex connector? It is possible I know, but would it work? |

| 1299731 | 2012-09-09 04:06:00 | Actually, I am guessing I need something like this: www.ascent.co.nz I assume the female connector goes to the mobo, with 2 male ends to 2 fans |

It could be the same for the ones you have. |
