Connecting 3-pin fans to Molex
This adapter converts a single 4-pin Molex male connector into four 3-pin male outputs. It provides two white connectors wired for 12 V and two black connectors wired for 5 V. The cable suits standard CPU or case fans that use a 3-pin power plug.
Speed control limited to voltage choice
Fans plugged into the 12 V leads run at full rated speed. Fans on the 5 V leads spin slower and quieter but cannot be regulated further by the motherboard. The adapter does not carry a PWM signal, so automatic speed curves are not possible with this wiring.
Short loom for tidy internal routing
At 10 cm the cable keeps excess length to a minimum inside compact cases. The moulded connectors seat firmly on Molex and 3-pin headers without blocking adjacent ports. Builders needing longer reach or PWM control will need a different cable assembly.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the 5 V or the 12 V connector for my fan?
Use the white 12 V connectors for full fan speed or the black 5 V connectors for slower, quieter operation.
What happens when I plug a fan into the 12 V lead?
The fan receives the full 12 V from the Molex supply and runs at its rated maximum speed.
Does the 4-pin Molex input limit the power my fans can draw?
The adapter passes the Molex rail’s 12 V and 5 V lines directly to each 3-pin output without added regulation.
