Default My motherboard has no molex...
Short question: How do I use molex fans if my PC doesn't support molex?

I purchased some cooling products, but they are molex connectors. I don't know what to do about them, but I assume that I can get some sort of adapter or something. I only have one fan connector to my motherboard as well, so I really don't know what to do.

yeah, plug them into your power supply. They will just run at 100% all the time (unless u have a fan controller) instead of being controlled by the BIOS.

Didn't know because my power supply was modular. Thank you everyone.

Cut off Molex connectors and solder wires to 3/4-pin fan connector you have cut off an old un-wanted fan?
...or get one of these...

I only have one fan slot on my motherboard. Is it a good idea to daisy chain them? It would be 2z 120mm fans and one hard drive cooler.

I don't know what others would say about this, they will probably have better experience/knowledge about this...but personally I would not daisy-chain them I believe the motherboard fan sockets can only supply low wattage and 3-4 fans will definately go over the wattage and you will trash your only fan socket.
That's what I believe....but it doesn't make it right !!!
