wait now im confused, why would you need passthrough on it if you are hooking a fan up? if a fan is being hooked up in the molex connection then it wont be hooked up to the psu at all and wont require passthrough so why would it be there?

---

:huh: thats what i was thinking, why would u need a passthrough fan adpater, [/b][/quote]
i&#39;m a little confused too. so then, ok. rite now, my tornado has no adapter, and it&#39;s 2 molexes are connected in pass through. r u saying that i connect one of the 2 molexes on the fan to the power supply, and the other molex to the adapter (the adapter with 1 molex)?

like something like this?

no, you dont use the second one going to the psu, only the one going to the adapter, as if u connected it to the psu, the fan adapter wouldnt work as the psu would always be supllying 12v,

ok. i got it now. i need to connect everything to the controller. so if i just get an adapter with 1 molex, i&#39;d leave the other molex from the fan dangling, and it won&#39;t be a complete circuit, rite?

Okay,

A- You connector your power supply to the fan controller.

B. you connect the fan adapter to the Controller.

C- You connect the male molex connector, of your fan adapter, to the female molex connector, on your fan.

wouldn&#39;t it be an incomplete circuit?
u ahve power coming into the controller from the 1 psu molex connected to the controller
then u have an adapter that hooks up to the controller, bring hte power from the psu to the fan. then u have the 1 molex of the adapter connect to one of the molexes of the fan (which has 2 molexes). now, how would the electricity go back? how would this complete the circuit if u have the input power going into one molex of the fan, and nothing coming out?
