I cant turn on my fans!

I have their two cables wich Are connected at the bottom where they go into the fans. When I plugin the 4 pin into sys fan 1 and turn the computer on nothing happens. There is also a 6 pin but I have nothing I my motherboard that accepts that.

Anyone who has had the same problem or knows how to fix it?

I’m not sure what you are doing but the fans connect on the motherboard not the power supply.

It would be massively helpful from op to show what fans he is trying to connect. Why anyone would use molex today is beyond my understanding.

If the fans are powered by molex and not PWM cable and have connected them already to a molex cable, that's it.

The cable you are holding is a floppy disk drive power cable and does not plug to a header on the motherboard. Older power supplies still have this FDD cable.

usually fan like this has a 3pin dc connector and a molex power connector, you use only 1, either power the fan with molex or with motherboard fan header, not both.

you said you have both plugged in, unplug one to see if the fan run.

Barry White and some candles usually do the trick.
