Got a couple of PWM alpenfohn fans that i wish to use as top exhaust fans in my case. The problem is, the fans have a 4 pin cpu style connector. All of the molex - fan adapters i have are for 3 pin fans only. I cant connect them direct to the motherboard as every fan header is in use. Cant find a suitable adapter on the ocuk shop site either.

Yep, just to power them Tealc, have two PWM akasa piranhas on the cooler running of the mobos two cpu fan headers. Might have an old akasa PWM splitter that can take 4 pin fans, then connect direct to the psu. One of theese.

Wont be connecting it to the cpu header as it wont allow the reading of the cooler fan speeds, and the cpu fans are rated at different speed than the alpenfohns. If i havent got that cable, ill go with the cutting job.

Might also have this cable in my bits and bobs drawer.

Got a varied fan mix tbh, two on the cpu headers, 4 3 pin fans on the remaining 3 pin fan headers and one on a fan controller, (only one working channel on it). When i used the 3 fan PWM cable, no program would pick up the cooler fan speeds on this board in sig.

Yep, my zalman zmfc1 is goosed, was looking at a lamptron fc2/5 or the bitfenix recon. When the zalman worked i only used it for the case fans. Always kept cpu fans on PWM. If i can find the 5 fan splitter cable, ill try it with all four PWM fans.
