Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ Three fan connectors per cable, six across the 2-pack
  • ✓ Accepts both 3-pin and 4-pin PC case fans
  • ✓ Runs fans off PSU Molex power, freeing motherboard fan headers
  • ✓ 27cm (10.6 in) leads leave slack for routing behind the motherboard tray
  • ✓ Dense black sleeving suits clean, all-black builds

Cons

  • ✗ Fans run at full 12V speed only, with no PWM or voltage control
  • ✗ No RPM sense wire, so BIOS and software can't read fan speed
  • ✗ Full-speed fans can be louder than header-controlled setups
  • ✗ Needs a free Molex lead, and many newer PSUs include only a few

Manufacturer description

Out of motherboard fan headers? The Gavemi Molex to 3 pin or 4 pin fan adapter powers your PC case fans directly from your power supply's Molex lead. The pack includes two cables. Each one splits a single 4-pin Molex plug into three fan connectors that fit both 3-pin and 4-pin chassis fans. The wiring is kept simple on purpose. The Molex end and the fan ends each use only two live pins, which carry the 12V rail and ground. Your fans spin at full 12V speed as soon as the system powers on. That suits builds where you want steady airflow without setting BIOS fan curves. It also helps with older…

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this adapter work with 4-pin PWM case fans?

Yes. The fan connectors accept both 3-pin and 4-pin fans. Only 12V and ground are wired, so PWM fans get no control signal and run at full speed.

Can my motherboard or BIOS show fan RPM with this splitter?

No. The fan connectors are wired with only two pins (12V and ground) and have no tachometer wire, so fan speed can't be reported to the motherboard or monitoring software.

How many fans can I connect with the 2 pack?

Each cable splits one Molex plug into three fan connectors, so the two cables in the pack can power up to six case fans from two Molex leads.

How long are the cables?

Each cable is 27cm (10.6 inches) long and covered in dense black sleeving. Measure the distance from your PSU's Molex lead to your fans before you buy.

Why does the Molex connector only have two pins?

Case fans need only the 12V rail and ground, so the adapter uses just those two pins of the 4-pin Molex housing. It still plugs into a standard Molex peripheral connector from your power supply.

Key Features

  • Powers up to four PC chassis fans via molex connectors to provide internal chassis cooling.

  • Connector A: 4 pin molex connector (actual 2 pin) B: 3pcs 4 pin fan connector(actual 2 pin)
