Fan Controller Power

Here's the setup - I have a fan controller on the way (nothing fancy, just a $15, 3.5" 4-fan controller) that I plan on hooking at least 3 fans to. Currently, I'm using a dedicated set of power lines for my video card (meaning there are 2 other power connections for this "bundle", but they're not being used...only the video card is using power for this set, an X850 XT).

My question is, when this fan controller arrives, will it be OK/wise to use one of the molex connectors that is in the same bundle as the ones my video card is using? Will it take away too much/any power from my video card?

I have a dedicated set going to my hard drive as well, but that's SATA and I don't have any adapters at the moment (if I need one).

The power supply being used is a SeaSonic S12-430.

I hope I explained this coherently. I'm sure I made the question much more complicated than it should. But it is freakin' early on a Sunday morning.

Thanks!
 
Don't use the one for your video card--not to power 4 fans. You can find something you can use to power the fans in line with the SATA hd. Any electronics store will have it. Possibly even the freebies forum. 🙂
