Default 6 Fan connectors on one molux cable ?

Hello,

Is it safe to connect 6 power fan connectors of antec 1200 case to one mulox
power connector/cable of power supply ?

(It is the floppy drive/dvd drive power cable) I rarely use those...

Bye,
Skybuck.

Sure, should be no problem. Fans don't draw much current.

The Antec 1200 Full tower case has (3) 120mm fans in the front, (2) 120mm fans
in the rear upper back, and (1) huge 200mm blowhole fan in the top. Plenty of
sweet slow low RPM airflow to keep everything in the case cool. Yes you can go
ahead and daisychain the fans together on one molex.

Asus supplies 6 fans in its Antec 1200 case, the one he is using.

Skysuck never was all that well grounded, must be an NEC violation.
