Is this safe for the power supply?

 

Fans are using molex connectors.

It would depend on a few factors.

 

1. How are they set up? Are all the fans on just one Potentiometer?

 

2. What watt rating is the Potentiometer that you are using?

 

 

 

Overall though I would not use Potentiometer with a PC PSU.

but you can check this out for more help CR4 thread

If they are paralell fans, in series with the potentiometer, then it totally depends on how much the potentionmeter can handle (and it will get warm). Otherwise i wouldn't know what you where thinking.

 

I usually leave mine at 7V (between +12 and +5), i know it not optimal, but they don't pull many watts so it should be semi-ok...
