4 Fans 3 slots and instructions say use Molex


Ok, I know what the molex is and things of that nature....the problem is I noticed that NONE of my Molex adaptors have the correct plug in for the small Fan plug in....I have the first 2 fans to each their own plug in close as possible to the fan. The problem is Fan 3 and 4 since I am not sure that it will be ummm safe to run the adaptors to each fan and let it run to the only thing it can .... the Floppy drive. I tried a few other configurations but none can get just the 2 into the one plug in for it. I am afraid to leave it all going to the Floppy. Guess what I am asking is what I have ok and safe for my machine since it is all brand new and my first build.

for reference:
Coolmaster Cosmos 1000 case
Antec TPQ 850W PSU
AMD Phenom 9800
ASUS NVIDIA 780a Mobo
and the floppy is well really old

I am not sure what the question is here, but I think we are being asked if it is safe to plug the fan power into the adapter that is attached to the floppy drive connector.

If that is the question, the answer is yes.
