My new case fans came with ide power connectors, but my ps has only SATA

[DietDrThunder]

Where can I find a SATA power to IDE power cable?

Case fans use 3 pin or Molex. They do not use SATA nor IDE.

Not this case mfg. It has a 4 pin IDE power connector, but two of the pins are not used. I can post a photo if you like.

Sorry, I didn't realize these were called molex. Never mind, I was able to find a molex adapter on newegg, so someone can delete these stupid posts.

Hmm, I have never seen a PSU without Molex connectors.

Pretty sure most accessories use them... fan controllers, LCDs, watercooling etc...

I talked to CoolerMaster tech support this morning. Apparently the Silent Pro M 700 watt PS was packaged incorrectly. I was supposed to get 2 molex (3 connectors on each) and 3 SATA power cords (3 connectors on each), but instead 6 SATA power cords. The CoolerMaster tech support guy said they would send me 2 molex power cords FedEx overnight.

Yes... all PSUs should come with Molexes.
