I have a sycthe gentle typhoon fan. Its 3 pin but I I am not sure where the pins go...

How can I can test if the fan works or not, using the PSU?

[RickArter]

@MrGrandDragon You can connect it to motherboard 3-pin header or get a 3-pin to molex 4-pin adapter. There is a tab on there so it oly goes on one way no worries about wrong installation there.

can u pls make a video how to turn that molex fan plug in to 3 pin motherboard fan plug or give me a link if u already have 1

Thx

[RickArter]

@KIREMS You can go 3 pin to molex but not other way around iirc. Since the molex only runs power and ground. The 3/4 pin connectors have a extra lead for RPM control and RPM sensor.

why would you remove it..

[RickArter]

Removal is only a necessity if you are sleeving or extending the cables or possibly adding a different type of connector.

Where can I get some bare molex fan connectors? (UK)

[filmamateur]

Yes, It is verry simply but I doesn't know that there was a plastic clip over the house of the molex. Know I learnd what in Belgium-Leuven inclusive this languages. When a 20 years ago with commodore or msx it was very different!

Thanks,

@RickArter

I removed the white Molex connection because I wanted to braid my cable. But I forgot in which order the cable go back in side. On the left hand side of the Molex connector there is an arrow...I think the black cable goes in there..?

Grounding, voltage and I think speed control are the the three function of the three pins
