Jw, Your absolute correct about the connectors, I have been talking about that for a year. The Fan Fail I build uses extra long connectors to get the full contact on the female socket. But if they aren't tight, it doesn't matter how long they are. The current is about 14 amps run per fan and 30 amps spike when the fans come on. Melting and over heating is common.
