Here's the relevant details of my hardware
Given my sata backplanes, I'm dedicating one peripheral PSU port to each set of 3 hard drives. The problem is, I only have 4 peripheral ports on this PSU, and I still have 3 fans with molex connectors that I want to power. Is it possible I could somehow use one of the CPU / PCIe ports on the PSU to power these fans, or is that insane? Do I have other options?
