It is strange it shows one speed but a voltage range. YieJoya 4-Pin Molex to 5 x 3 Pin / 4 Pin PMW 12V PC Case Fan Power Adapter Cable, 3-Pin or 4-Pin (PWM Connector) to Molex Computer Cooler Cooling Fan Splitter Y Power Cable 4.4 out of 5 stars 419 £10.99 £ 10. All are (6)4 pin headers for the fans except one and it is a 3 pin header. It has a matching 4-pin molex connector to the hard drive/CD.

When you buy the fan make sure you can control the speed: connectors that only plug into motherboards or hard drives. Pins and sockets can be arranged in any combination in a single housing, and each housing can be either male or female. The connector typically has 2 to 24 contacts and is polarized or keyed to ensure correct orientation. The pins and sockets are held in a rectangular matrix in a nylon shell. If you don't own a fan you can find some fairly cheaply but you need to find out what controller you have. In such a connector, cylindrical spring-metal pins fit into cylindrical spring-metal sockets. The name comes from the Molex Connector Company, which pioneered the two-piece electrical connectors that became standard in computers and other electronics. Set to 100%, then 40% to see if the speed changes.ĥ) Example fan profile: case fan at 40% speed until 40degC then RAMP up to 100% speed at 80degC (it will never reach 100%). Molex Connector: A Molex connector is a common type of connector used to power internal computer components.

May have to just try a fan).Ģ) Enable fan control in the BIOS if needed.ģ) Download and install your motherboard fan control software (motherboard support site).Ĥ) Play with the fan profile.

Older motherboards may have VOLTAGE only for everything.ġ) Determine what TYPE of controller you have (not always obvious. My motherboard supports both PWM and Voltage for the case fans, but only PWM for the CPU_FAN controller. DigiKey is an authorized distributor of Molex Electronic Solutions - a global supplier of electronic interconnects, including FFC/FPC connectors, terminals. The two types are:Īdditionally the FAN controller must be capable of controlling this. MOLEX is usually not controllable, though there are some rare exceptions which work with 3-pin/4-pin adapters. *There are two types of fans that have speed control.
