Fans

[akash123]

Hi, so I have a scenario in which I have 3 case fans all 120mm and all 3 pins so essentially stupid question how can I connect them all properly tried it with 3 to 4 pin adapter and fans didn’t work.

You don't need any adapters. You just plug them in.

I have one four pin header unless I have misunderstood something

Well that isn't fan related. What mobo and fans you are using anyway, and is CPU fan connected to CPU header?

Thats splitter or extension. Why even post it?

It's a splitter but it was just the first one on overclockers. Plus it's pretty.

Look at the picture, one input, 3 outputs.

Well, there''s your problem CPU overheating.

Still don't understand why post it. Question was how to connect 3pin fans to 4pin headers.

[akash123]

My cpu has been plugged in but fans not turning on

Well it's the same as what I used to fix the same problem so surely it's worth a post?

They don't work in any header? And pump is working?

[akash123]

Pump is working 100%

[akash123]

I have a manta Mini ITX case which comes with a fan connector board on the back which I have connected the three fans to it and then the PWR extension cable which is 4 pin to the motherboard 

[akash123]

So I tried a 4 pin fan from cooler master and that worked 

[akash123]

This is my setup : 

 

You have the 3 3pin fans connected and then the four pin connector which is connected to mobo no fans work. Have I done this right 

[akash123]

According to bios system fan rpm is 1300 which is nonsense as there’s nothing working 

[akash123]

Please can anyone tell me what I’ve done wrong would appreciate it very much 

[Dylanc1500]

What fan header to you have the fan hub hooked up to?

[akash123]

The says fan on mobo 

[akash123]

Sorry system fan on mobo 

[akash123]

So having tried the fans individually in the mobo says fan header they all work so is he hub really faulty?

Plug the hub into your cpu_fan or another 4pin pwm header.

Is there a cable for the hub that connects to the psu? It should come with one and it's what provides power to the fans.
