No, just a simple y splitter.

 

 

 

 

 

So I'd imagine it's going to work fine? Case is an enthoo primo which comes with the pwm fan hub which is a 4pin female to a 3pin hub.

 

It'll wok fine.

Hi,

 

Just bought a few pwm fan splitters/extensions and noticed that it's a 1 4pin female to a 4pin male and 3pin male. Will the 3pin allow me to control the fans speed like the 4pin?

Does it have a button or a knob on it?

It will allow the control of the 3-pin through voltage. Not PWM.

Yeah. But only on both at the same time. No separate control (voltage regulated, not PWM).

Unless there is a missing pin, and the header is 4 pins with the feedback pin missing, then no.

It will allow simple voltage control via the MoBo, but since both connections have a tachometer pin you will probably not get RPM data.  If that is an issue then look up the pinout and simply remove one of the tachometer pins.
