Hi guys,

I am thinking of connecting all three fans via one power connector (not to the mobo fan connector but to the power supply), but is that good or bad?

Eg.

I just think that I can make the wires neater without 3 sets of black and red wires everywhere.
 
naw, you will be fine...those things can put out alot of power...more than those 3 fans need i promise you....(depending on the psu you have) btw, what psu do you have

edit: i just saw your sig, yea with a 400 watter, you should be fine
 
if you have ever take a PSU appart, you have noticed that all the black wires are solderd to the same terminal, all the reds to the same, and the same goes for all the yellows, and all of the oranges.

when you think about it all of the red wires ar connected somwhere so it is not a problem.
