Connect a 120mm fan case of a male 4-pin female connector?
My case fan is a 120mm fan. It has red and black wires leaving out the fan and has a female power connector 4-pin on the end that also divides a 4-pin male connector. Obviously you can connect the 4-pin female end of the power supply, but what is the male end there? The only other connection I see as the next behind the front of my case where the power buton it. That one has a 4 female pin connection to a male. I just do not connect both Male connectors for power supply and leave males?
It can be left hanging if desired. While not touch any metal, fine. The purpose of it is so the fan will not "steal" one of the connections of the power supply. Some people need all they can get, plus more. The connector from the front of the case is probably a fan in the front. You can connect, like you just made for the back. Perhaps it is for some other function that is the case, but if you do not have a problem with heat, not much, anyway.
