There is a Cable that isn't plugged in that seems to be Part of the Fan. Maybe I needed to remove it and forgot to plug it back in

If it's a larger 4-pin molex/AMP connector (like this), it was probably plugged into a cable coming off your old PSU.

If it's a smaller 3 or 4pin connector, it was probably plugged into a fan header on your motherboard at some point.

Anyway, you may as well take the fan out and move it to the back of the case before plugging it back in, as if you have only one, that's the best place for it.

There's also a red and white Molex Cable but it looks like it is damaged. It looks like it should be a 4 Pin Cable but it does only have 2 Pins. I'm not sure if it is really also connected to the Fan because I can't see where the other End is but I assume it is Part of the Fan

That would be a normal connection for a fan.

Perfect. I assume that I will need to plug the other Part of the Molex Cable in too. But there isn't one in the Package of the PSU and the only 2 that I found in my Computer that aren't connected, don't fit. How exactly do I find one that fits? I don't want to accidentally buy the wrong Cable. Especially because as I previously mentioned the Electronics Store near me doesn't have many important Parts (but it says in the Manual of the PSU anyways that I should only use Seasonic Cables for Safety Reasons)

The fan cable only has two pins because all it needs is one ground wire and one +12v wire. It doesn't need the +5v or the second ground.

Look at the cables in this image:

Bottom row, second from last. That is what plugs into your PSU and has the connectors for your fan.

The Problem is that it seems like it's already plugged in somewhere else. At least I can't imagine why else I'm not able to find it. I hope they didn't just forget to put it into the Package and I'm searching in the Computer even though it isn't there. This would be really annoying

What's the middle cable in your first image connected to?

Do you mean the one where the 2 Pin Molex Cable is plugged in? They are both connected to the Fan so I need another Molex Cable where I can plug the other End of the Black one in

I do also have these but they don't seem to fit

Unless it's something like that annoying USB-Stick Situation where you need to turn them 10000 Times around

Just noticed that I do have a second Case Fan
Yay🥳

Those will fit. These connectors can be a bit tedious to get plugged in sometimes. Usually helps if you hold the back of the connector by the wires while you line them up.

Ok, I'll try it again and hope that it will work after the 500. Time

Thanks for the Tip to hold them like that. It worked at the first try

Both of them work now (I've discovered that I have a second Case Fan today if you didn't read my Edit)

I should get the old Hard Drives that don't work anymore out of there because they are in Front of the second Fan

Seems like I still need to open the Case to play😞

Move one to the back, if at all possible.

I think there won't be enough Space for such a Change and (I'm no Physics Expert) even if I would be able to somehow put one there, wouldn't this just cause the warm Air to stay longer inside of the Case if one of the Fans is directly in Front of the Ventilation Holes and blows it back in the Direction of the other Fan?

The idea is to pull air in with one, and push air out with the other.

I know I might annoy some People with this but I have a new Problem. I've replaced the Chair in Front of my Computer and while trying to get the old Chair out (it was a big Chair and the Room isn't very big, so it was difficult) the Chair bumped into the Computer and now something prevents the Computer from starting. All Fans work, so I assume it isn't because of the Graphics Card or the Motherboard. I've already checked all Cables. There is a empty Slot for a Cable in the Motherboard but I assume there wasn't a Cable previously because I can't find a Cable that would fit in there inside the Computer. I hope someone can help me to find out what causes the Problem
