I recently enhanced my PC, but the SATA power connections aren't sufficient for my fans. I need ideas to fix this issue. Components: Motherboard - Gigabyte B850 GAMING X WIFI6E PSU - ASUS ROG Strix 1200w Platinum 80 Case - Phanteks NV7 D-RGB CPU Cooler - Arctic Liquid Freezer III ARGB 360mm Current Case Fans - 3x Arctic Fans Case fans I plan to upgrade to. My current setup: The PSU provides 2 SATA power cables, each with 3 connectors, totaling 6 connectors. The case controller uses 2 SATA connections (Channel A and B), my three SSDs each have one connector, using 5/6 of the available slots. I have the default fans from the CPU cooler block on the motherboard, plus three Arctic fans connected separately to the motherboard slots. My goal: Keep CPU fans as they are. Remove the three Arctic fans and install eight LIAN LI SL-INF 120 fans (two sets of three). The challenge: The LIAN LI fans require a fan controller with 2 SATA connections. I’m already using most of my SATA power from the PSU.

You can purchase a SATA header splitter and link it to your SSD array. These models consume less energy compared to traditional fans.

Does the PSU support Molex? If yes, Molex connects to the SATA port, which is typically called a peripheral. They seem to offer three different options.
