C2G 27078 3-Pin to 4-Pin Fan Power Cable Adapter
Overview
The C2G 27078 is a power adapter cable designed to connect a 3-pin fan to a 4-pin fan header on a motherboard or fan controller. This cable allows for PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) speed control of the connected 3-pin fan, provided the header supports it. It's useful in scenarios where you have a mix of fan types or need to utilize a 4-pin header for a 3-pin fan to gain speed management capabilities, often seen in server chassis or custom PC builds requiring precise thermal management.
Compatibility
This adapter is compatible with standard 4-pin PWM fan headers found on most modern motherboards and fan controllers. The male left gender connector plugs into the 4-pin header, and the female right gender connector accepts a standard 3-pin fan power connector. It is suitable for connecting 3-pin DC-cooled fans to systems that provide 4-pin PWM signals for speed regulation.
Installation Notes
Ensure the 4-pin header on the motherboard or controller supports PWM speed control for the 3-pin fan to be regulated. The 3-pin fan connector simply plugs into the female end of the adapter. No drivers or software are required; it functions as a passive adapter.
