Hi! I am continuing to build my PC (Just got a nice graphics card :) ) and my cheap case is GREAT, but it has a TON of fans..

I just need one more 4-pin connector.. I have an unused line coming from the power supply that includes a SATA power connector- is there any way to get a converter for it to a 4-pin? (Female SATA > male 4-pin)

I couldnt for sure find one on newegg- I think it is a 4-pin to SATA- I found a ton of those- but I want the opposite :rolleyes:

Thanks!

PS- Yes I know about passthroughs...
This needs one free, and SATA>4pin would work a LOT better than a splitter.

Just buy a molex (4 pin) splitter. They're common as dirt at any computer store and only about two bucks. You're not likely to find sata to molex adapters. If they're made, they're not common. Molex to sata, on the other hand, are available, tho still not nearly so easy to find as plain old molex splitters.
