4 pin fan to 2x 3 pin fan cabels

steam_chef · Jan 1, 2017

is their a way that I can take my 4 pin fan header and adapt it to two 3 pin fan cables?

3 pin fans and 4 pin headers are compatible

you can buy a splitter so you can connect to 2 fans to 1 header

Isokolon :

thank you very helpful but can i also use the 4 pin variation of this cable?

Well the fans are 3 pin so wouldnt work

Paul NZ :

why shouldn't it?

they do work when plugged in the 4-pin fan header.
the splitter is merely an extension so I fail to see the difference.

Well if the fans are 4 pin of course they will. If 3 pin you cant use PWM

I didnt say that theye not compatible.

I'm using 2 splitters with 5 fans here (1 of them is connected to a molex)

so?
of course you can't control non-pwm fans via pwm.
but they do work and you can control them via the board's fan utility (or more so the header)

edit: ah saw your edit.

Well the fans are 3 pin so wouldnt work

sounded a lot more like "incompatible"

I didnt say that they didnt
