Converted 2-pin Fan to 4 Pin Molex
Hey I wanted to ask some questions about converting a 2 pin 80mm brush less fan into a 4 pin molex connector. Now the 2 pin fan has the + wire and ground, so I took those two wires and connected them using a wire connector, do not know name. Put one end of wire in and clamp and then other end and clamp it down, now I had to use 4 of those in total so 2 on each wire, since the molex connectors needed to be male ends to connect to my female psu molex's. So I connected the red (+) wire to the yellow 12 V psu molex to mole and then the black ground to the 1st black ground right next to the yellow molex. Now is it safe running 2 wire connectors in one line? I had heat tubed the connectors and wires, but I do not know if this will hold up or cause a short due to the wire being cut two times and then being connected to a male mole connector. Now the way I connected the male molex clip was by using a wire that already had one on it rather than a new one, so I connected the fan to a wire, then to a another wire which had the male molex connector. Now I did the wire in the middle for length reasons, I kind of need it.
Also is it safe it use the remaining other 2 wires of the molex the other black and the red to do this with another fan?
