Mini 3-pin fan header

DTMHibbert · October 17, 2022

Hey all,

Hopefully someone can help me, I have a Silverstone FS304 which I use with my NAS and the fan seems to have died so I want to replace this with a noctua (ideally) but the fan header on the board is strange to me. It seems like a mini version of a 3pin connector.

can anyone tell me where I can get an adapter/ fan that will plug into this (image attached)

It's probably some other type of connector, there are a lot of standards so it's hard to actually figure out which one, but you can always adapt with with a pair of wire cutters and a soldering iron.

If you're handy with a soldering iron and some heatshrink you're better off cutting the connector off the old fan and either making an adapter or cutting the standard pins off the new fan in substitution. The standard pins on a PC fan will not be accepted in the plastic bit of this connector.
