Hello, I am trying to decide what psu to get and was wondering how you put a new fan in a psu, like how you get power to it. Like do you buy a led fan and take off the molex connectors and get power from inside the psu. Any help/explanations would be good.

Opening and cleaning a PSU should be part of everyone's pc dusting ritual anyway. I'm assuming you're talking about adding an additional fan, not just changing them out. Just strip the +12v and ground wire off a molex near to where it starts, take 3/4 pin connector off of fan, solder wires accordingly (+12 to +12, ground to ground), and heatshrink/hotglue whatever is exposed to prevent shorts. It'll probably take you all of 10 minutes to do, unless you're not good with a dremel when doing the fan hole. Hot wire the atx pins to test it outside the case in case of freak accident and *bam* extra fan, no danger to yourself.
