Description

StarTech CPUFANADAPT TX3 to 2x LP4 Power Y-Splitter Cable

Overview

The StarTech CPUFANADAPT is a 6-inch white adapter cable designed to power a 3-pin TX3 computer fan directly from a 4-pin LP4 peripheral power connector. This cable is essential when your motherboard lacks sufficient fan headers or when you need to repurpose an existing LP4 power connection for additional cooling. It allows a single LP4 connector to power both the original device and a 3-pin fan, ensuring critical components remain within thermal operating limits. The CPUFANADAPT model is ideal for system builders and IT professionals needing flexible power distribution in custom builds or upgrades.

Compatibility

This adapter cable is compatible with any standard 3-pin TX3 fan and any standard 4-pin LP4 power connector found on power supply units (PSUs). It does not require specific motherboard chipset or PSU model compatibility, functioning as a passive power adapter. Ensure your PSU has an available LP4 connector and that the combined power draw of the original device and the fan does not exceed the PSU's capacity for that rail.

Installation Notes

Connect the 3-pin TX3 end to your fan header and the two LP4 ends to available LP4 power connectors on your power supply. The white color provides a clean aesthetic in builds where cable management is visible. The 6-inch length is suitable for most standard ATX and smaller form factor builds, minimizing cable clutter.
