Antec P182 fan connectors

Hello

I am new here.
Just got my P182 case, a first time builder, noticed that all 3 fans have the standard ATA 4-pin molex female connectors, I suppose then they would have to connect direct to the PSU, in my case it will be the corsair HX620?

If that is the case then I will need extension cables maybe to reach the PSU at the bottom, is this correct or am I talking a load of crap?

cheers

You won't have any problems.
Might have to stretch one connector abit for the top fan.

I have both of those. I had no problems whatsoever. Run your psu cables up the backside of the case. Then connect both top fans to one connector. The fans plugs will connect to each other then one to the PSU. I zip tied the cables to the top mounted fan to keep the cable and wires out of the way.
