So I just shove the red wire from fan into yellow in connectors and black in to black in connector... what what about the yellow in fan? what do I do with it? And which black wire hole in the molex connector do i put the black wire from fan in, cuz there are 2 in molex connector..

The yellow fan wire doesn't go anywhere. You don't need it for the fan to function anyway. And use any black wire on the molex, they're both ground...

Keep in mind this is the cheapest, grungiest way to do it. It works, but it looks a bit silly. If you want to do a better job, go with a tail or try the soldering method.

biofobia, please read the posts carefully! I never mentioned red wires, I said the yellow fan wire (the RPM sensor wire) is not to be plugged into the molex connector AT ALL.

this is not such a hard thing!!! the fan's red wire goes to the yellow wire from the power supply. the fan's black goes to a black from the power supply. the yellow on the fan is for monitoring, and it is possible to get working, but i dont think you have the patience for it! :p

dont be so scared of electronics, you're a computer nerd for gods sake. (or ARE you? ;))
