The setup poses a potential issue since the fan draws more current than its rating allows. Consider upgrading the fan or using a higher-capacity one to avoid strain.

What kind of setup are you using? Most people stick to 0.3 or less, but some handle 0.1A or more...

This option isn't the top choice, but it's worth checking out: https://aerocool.io/product/core-plus/

All the LEDs are increasing the power consumption. The only choice is to use a 3 to 4 pin adapter and connect it to MOLEX, which will operate it at full speed. I’m not sure the 0.55A would be a major issue, but you’d need to decide that yourself.

Thank you for your response. I understand the limitations now. I can connect it to a MOLEX immediately. However, I won’t be able to adjust the speed afterward.
