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?

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?

yes, and u will also need to connect a supply from the psu to the fan adapter.

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?
