The motherboard is Gigabyte X470 Aorus Ultra Gaming, AM4, and the CPU Cooler is VETROO V5. I cannot locate where to connect the LED to the MOBO. It is 4 pin Wide but has 1 missing on purpose. xoxx pattern, cannot find anything on the MOBO that has this missing pin pattern. Please help, thank you. -
I had a UpHere fan that died on me recently. Served me almost 2 years, so I'm fine with it. I wanted to switch it out with this stock Corsair Fan that I had, which is a 3 pin. I plugged it in to my SYS_FAN 4 header on my motherboard, and got no LEDs, and no Fan Power. I tried the other fan headers, and even the Pump fan header, but nothing. Is it because I have a fan hub installed for my UpHere fans, or is the fan just dead? It worked the last time I used it, which was about 2 years ago.

Hi, So I recently moved my rig into a corsair 280x with the included 2 rgb fans at the front and I am kind of bottle necked by only having 2 system fan headers on my motherboard. I have 2*3 pin fans from my old fractal case I would like to reuse in the case (trying to save some money, if I had the $ I'd get 2* identical fans). I was thinking To install them both on the bottom, below my GPU as an exhaust (using a micro atx board so the GPU fans are facing down with ~3 inches of clearance form the bottom of the case) but I thought I would consult this forum first. Additional info: I have 240mm of space at the top of the case as well. would really appreciate some help with what I can buy to power the 2 existing fans and the 2 I would like add, thanks!

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/TPA3116-amplifier-board-24VDC-TPA3116-amplifier-4-1-channel-class-D-4-50W-100W/32643807536.html I linked an amp I'm looking at for my speaker setup. If you take a closer look at one of the pictures, the input is a white 3 pin connection that is near the potentiometers (it looks like a 3 pin fan header). How do i go from 3.5mm to that connection? Also, on a side note, the sub out is 100w, does that mean I would need a passive subwoofer?

Hello All, I am looking at a budget system, which includes a budget motherboard. This particular motherboard only has 1 3 pin system fan connector, meaning that to have three fans (2 intake, 1 out take), I need to have a fan splitter. So, I was just wondering how safe it is to get a fan splitter which splits the power three ways. I have seen some places that it is not good to go past 2-way, but I just wanted another opinion. Product in question: https://www.pccasegear.com/products/35669/cablemod-basics-3-pin-fan-to-9x-3-pin-fan-y-cable-black-60cm Thanks for all the help!

Okay so first build from scratch I picked up a NZXT H500i case (not everything has arrived yet but will be by the end of next week) and just looking it over. Currently the case came with 2 fans (1 - top of case exhaust , 2 - at the back on the case) There are mounting options for more fans. When I placed my initial order I didn't order any more fans. From youtube videos it seems it will work with the current setup but of course I can improve my future temps with more fan. I can improve my temps a little with some front mounted fans. I've followed the wires that lead to the NZXT hub Fan 3 and 3 ports are already connected but Fan 1 has a cable that has 3 inputs at the end (pictures attached) The first one down the run of wire has 4 pins, and the last two only have 3 pins.... Just sure what kind of fans to orer if the number of pins makes a difference. Thanks for reading this newb questions and all the help as usual.

Hi! I'm searching for a really powerful 120mm fan but without pwm (with a molex connector for example), it doesn't seems to exist because it would be too loud, but if you know a reference or something like this, it would be really helpful. (I'm doing some experiments with a peltier module and a cpu cooler but because it isn't for a PC, I don't have access to a pwm control board.)

So I just build my new system. I’m 3 fan headers short for my fans at the bottom side panel and the 3 front intake fans have short cables for reaching to the motherboard. This makes cable managing them behind the motherboard tray impossible. so all fans are 3 Pin and I picked up 2 splitters (headers are on a PCB board that has a fan cable connected to it; looks like a parallel circuit). Both connect directly to the motherboard fan headers for everything. Question is, am I doing my math right? Or will my fan headers not be able to power my fans? So the two fan headers on my motherboard that I’m using are designed for case fans or water pumps. They support a maximum of 2 amps and 24 watts. So for the first splitter, for fan header #1, I got 4 fans that say 12V 0.19A on each fan. So if I recall, voltage stays the same, but amps add up and then this gives you your watts (correct me if I’m wrong). 4 fans X 0.19 amps = 0.76 amps 0.76 amps X 12 Volts = 9.12 Watts So fan header #1 should draw about 9.12 watts and 0.76 amps (give or take). My second splitter for fan header #2 will only have 3 fans that say 12V 0.30A on each of them. 3 fans X 0.30 amps = 0.90 amps 0.90 amps X 12 Volts = 10.80 Watts So fan header #2 should use about 10.80 watts and 0.90 amps (give or take). So did I calculate this all correctly and am I in the clear for using my splitters or did I mess up and need to jerry rig the splitter power to the PSU ?

So I've been trying to use 2 Bequiet pure wings fans (3pin) as bottom intakes for my Inwin 301 case and since my motherboard MSI B350M Mortar only has 3 system fan connectors I need a splitter cable. So I bought three 4 pin splitters from Noctua thinking this should work, since 3 is less than 4, and yeah, it did work but I was unable to control the 2 Bequiet fans at all, they were always running at 100%. So my solution was to use much weaker PWM fans instead and everything works and I can control them. Now my question is, is that normal I couldn't control both Bequiet fans at all, and if yes, how do I fix this? Do I need a 3 pin splitter cable? Because I would rather use the Bequiet fans than the cheap ones I'm using now as they are unfortunately kinda loud and very weak in comparison. Also I'd like the bottom fans to turn off completely while idling which doesn't seem to be possible with the currently installed ones (brand is Lepatech, don't ask me, but apparently they're not very good - kinda loud and weak) Or did I after all maybe just connect the Bequiet fans wrong? It's my first build... Here's how it looks currently. Note: the exhaust fan is also a Bequiet pure wings and turns off completely (0rpm) while idling.

I plan on making a build using Deepcool Argb fans and a few Argb lighting strips. My mobo only has one addressable (3 pin) rgb header and i was wondering if it would be crazy to daisy-chain all of them to that one header or if that is way to much. if it is way too much, could you give me a reasonable estimate on the max amount I can put on that single header or if you know of a product that can solve this problem? Thanks in advance.

I have an old Sony Vaio VGC-RA830G, with a power supply model # DPS-400LB A, from Delta Electronics. The power supply died on the system, I did pick up a Insignia 550 Watt power supply (model: NS-PCW5508), however it's missing a 3 pin plug that plugs into the motherboard (motherboard is a model PTGO-VX Rev 1.04 or the O could be a D making it PTGD-VX Rev 1.04). The 3 pin plug is to the upper left of the 24 pin. The colors of the wires to the 3 pin are: Blue, Black & what looks to be a cream color. I searched Google to see what voltages each wire was to see if I can adapt it to a molex, etc. but couldn't find what the voltages are. Attempts to find a manual for the motherboard has come up empty except for finding out that Asus made the motherboard. I can only assume that the 3 pin is for the CPU fan next to the cooling tubes (as there's no fan above the CPU) and the case fans, but have yet to try the new power supply. Questions are: 1.) Does anyone know (or could help find) what the voltages are for the 3 pin? (from looking inside the power supply, the cream colored one has Fan-M, the Black has -GND and the Blue has Fan-C printed next to the solder points.) 2.) Also, where can I connect/adapt from to supply the power needed to this port? Thanks, John

I was wondering what the best solution is? I currently have 4 120mm fans from an old build (3 pin), and the new case (Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ITX) has 1 **huge** 200mm intake fan in the front. Is the best solution simply to buy a 3 pin fan hub? Unless there is something major that I'm missing, it's the only way I'm going to power the 5 fans I'll have. Also I've got the GTX 1070 FTW from EVGA, so airflow is going to be pretty vital, if I'm going to avoid downclocking too severely. The motherboard I'm getting is the MSI Z170I Gaming Pro AC. I'm fairly sure I should be able to power all five fans off that one header, but if there's a better solution to the issue, I'd love to know of it! Also not entirely sure I'm posting in the correct section... Thanks

Hello All, I was wondering if it is possible to control fan speed via Ethernet through binary? I understand Ethernet has many capabilities but if this is possible that would be interesting.

Hi, Just another quick question - does a fan splitter slow them down? I'm just looking for some good splitter because my case has only 2 Cha headers on it and I want to run 3 fans out of it. Is it possible that it would make them slower? I mean, They are 3 pin and if one fan spins at certain speed, two of them will spin at half? Or if they are like 0.2A each and motherboard outputs for ex. 1A it wouldn't make a difference? Is there any simple fan controller that works just like splitter (connects to motherboard) but has an additional molex/sata socket to keep the voltage the same? I just want for uefi to have control over rpm and that's why I don't go with straight molex-3 pin headers solution. If that matters, I plan to use 2x be quiet! PURE WINGS 2 120mm Thanks for answers!

Hi, I have a EVGA 980ti hybrid and I am trying to control the fan speed of the fan that is on the hybrid radiator. So I disconnected the 3 pin from 980ti hybrid and connect it with 4 pin that is on my x99 Sabertooth. PS: x99 Sabertooth only provide 4 pin fan plug (control) The question is: "How to control the 3 pin fan's voltage through a 4 pin fan plug on my motherboard?" Thank you! -
If I rip out the molex will the 3 pin connector still work? It might seem strange but I'm redoing my cables and to fit my fan cable through a small hole I need to remove the molex.

i am interested in fan controller that could control 3-pin fans atleast in 3 speeds 5/7/12V i know mod with molex power cable but i am interested in more humain way:D

Hello, I haven;t used Asus AI Suite before and was wondering if you use a 3 pin fan hub from one chassis fan header would the header control the fans still or would the constant power source form the Molex power keep them running at max speed? I'm using an ITX board and it only has one cpu fan header and one chassis fan header. But with a small case I want to run 4 case fans to keep it cool. Thanks for the help,

Hi guys, I've rencently build a new computer but i have ran into some issues for plugging all the fans. I'm using a MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard (http://us.msi.com/product/mb/Z97_GAMING_5.html#hero-specification) which features for fan control : - 2 x 4-pin CPU fan connectors - 3 x 4-pin system fan connectors and in total would like to have 7 fans plugged in I have 5 obviously atm (1 for cpu on CPU pin, 3 for case on system fan pin and 1 for case on CPU pin)). The fan pins on the motherboard a 4 pin headers. In order to plug all the remaining fans onto the motherboard, i am looking for a system that would allow that. Most of my fans are 3 pins fans (pwm) with LED (4 / fan) (=more power consumption i guess). Searching over the internet, i found several possibilities and i wanted your opinion on them. First, buying a fan splitter cable: * First, is it ok for the motherboard ? * Will the motherboard be able to control them (pwm) ? (atm with one fan plugged in, it is controlled by MB, but with a splitter cable, will it works ?) * Is it ok in term of powerconsumption for one MB fan pin header to power several (2, 3, 4, i don't know) fan ? (even more with the LED thing) * Which one is better ? lol Is it better a 4 pin header -> 2x4pin header ,4 pin header -> 2x3pin header, 3pin header -> 2x3 pin header, 3pin header -> 3x3 pin header ? .... the list is pretty damn long. Second, buying a Molex to (2 or 3)x(4 or 3) pin adapter: * Will pwm fans be controlled in any mean if plugged not on MB ? If not then what, full speed all the time ? * Is it better if fan are powerred from PSU and not MB ? Which option is the best one ? Finally guys, would be great if you had any recommandation on another solution, would be appreciated Thanks in advance, Regards,

Hello everyone of the Linus Tech forum! I have come here to seek shopping advice. This is what I am looking for. I have four 3 pin Blue LED fans in my computer case. They are all being controlled through the Corsair Graphite 760t White full tower case's front panel fan toggle button. Although this toggle switch is nice, it would be nice to get a manual fan controller that is powered by a molex power input connector and have a 4 output 3 pin connector to connect to my 3 pin fans. I want one that has a temperature sensor that tells me what the current temp is, but lets me decide if I want to adjust my fan speed on the fly. Can anyone suggest a good one for a nice price? Please post links, with price information, and tell me why the models you suggest are ones to consider. Thank you in advance! Josh_Grid21

Hey guys, I just bought the Kraken X60. The stock fans are pretty subpar, loud and low performance. I am planning to replace the two fans with Noctua NF-A14 PWM. These will be for Pull. I also want 2 more fans in push configuration. I was thinking about using Noiseblocker 140mm PK-PS PWM fans, but they aren't available on Amazon (I don't want to make separate orders). The PK-3 has pretty decent sound levels. Problem is, Kraken X60 has 4 pin connectors (2 pin and a gap and 1 pin; makes 3 pin). And since the two of the three pins are separated from each other, the 3 pin will be plugged into 2 pins only. Will this be a problem? All Kraken X60 users please help!!!!! Thanks.

So in the 530 and 630 case, there is a fan-hub and there all 3 pins, so I am wondering if I can plug a 4 pin header onto it? I am kind of a noob And do I need a adapter if I wanted to do what I just explained, if I can't put the 4 pin header onto the all 3 pin hub?

Hi, I have just bought the sharkoon silent eagle 1000 fans. It has a 3 pin fan connector but only 1 wire going into a pin, the other two pins don't have wires going into them. When I plug it into my mobo the fan doesn't turn on and I can't control the speed. The fan only works when plugged into a 4 pin molex connector; then the motherboard picks up the speed of the fan, but that's it. Does this mean that I can't power/control the fan via the mobo. *My mobo can control 3 pin fans since I have another fan powered + controlled off of the mobo, but this fan has 3 wires going into the 3 pin header. Thanks in advance.

I'm COMPLETELY lost on how fan headers are. So my questions... What is the difference between a chassis fan header and a cpu fan header? Can there be 3 or 4 pins on each? In the Corsair 250D, there is an intake and an exhaust. There are a total of 2 fan headers, the CPU one for my CPU. Can I get a fan splitter to solve this? If so, which one? I also don't know how many pins the Corsair fans preinstalled have... so... I'm extremely confused how all my fans would be configured in my case. I know as far as the stock Intel fan from my 4570 will be plugged into the CPU fan header... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157386 H87M-ITX http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139033 250D

My NZXT Havik 140 comes with 2 3-pin fans that can be combined into 1 connector. If I plug it into the motherboard, will the fan speeds be controlled automatically, or do I need PWM fans to use this feature?
