Hello,
I recently purchased the EVGA 500w PSU for my first PC build. I am at the part where I need to connect the molex connector coming out of both fans to the molex connecter coming out of the PSU. However, the EVGA 500w PSU that I bought does not have a molex connector that came with it or is attached to it.

Welcome to the Forums. What Model EVGA 500w? All the ones I looked have Four-Pin Peripheral with 3 Ends Not many fans use Molex connector, what Case are you using? Molex

I was hoping it was not the White. I have a Box of ROSEWILL CASE Fans because of this, cannot use them why they still use the I have no idea. Might want to get some 3 or 4 Pin Fans and connect them to the Motherboard Fan Headers. What Motherboard do you have? But it still has Molex Power Connectors  You may need to but a splitter or two

oh no of course.. those are the female molex connectors. The problem is that the fans in the case do not come with molex male connectors that can then be connected to the PSU female molex connectors.

 They are time same that would come on Any Power Supply it is Standard. Can you post an image of the Connector? The Fan should have the one on the Left Looking at this Video now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stfEL1-pq-g

The fans in the Video shows standard 3-Pin Connector that would plug into the Motherboard Fan Headers. At 3.06 in the Video show the Connector from the Back or Rear Fan. They are not Molex Connectors.

OK that is Molex and it has a Male and Female Connector You need to look at each end and you well see where one plugs into the other So the one to the PSU then the other two plug in to the other Fan connector Not to the PSU.

But the fan on the case doesn't come with the male Molex needed to connect to the PSU's molex's. It only comes with two small connectors to the motherboard

Look at all of them, the Video Shows they do and they plug into each other then into the Power Supply Cable Then you have standard Fan Connector that plug in on the Motherboard Fan Header. Is the Connector like on this Fan?

They are not on the Fans in the Front of the Case? OK are you following the Video and because the Video has them and you do not have them you are stuck? That is you are missing the Molex Connector on your Case and not your Power Supply?

Ya I am following the video, and the ONLY cables coming out of the front of the case's fan, are two small connectors that connect to motherboard pins... That's why I am confused. By any chance can you tell me how I can snap a photo and send it to you of my cables?

Also all the Cables to the Front of the Case are Marked
Like USB (Black) USB 3 (Blue)
Audio
The Front (Panel Connectors) has a few Power Reset HD LED +Power and -Power
The Video show this well.
How many are you putting this computer together?
