    Hey,

    Yes, Noob. I bought a fan controller but it has no cables with it, and i only have 4 pin molex fans can someone point me in the direct of a cable that will let me control my 4pin molex fan with my fan controller that only takes 3 pin fans.

    I bought some off the bay, but i must of bought the wrong ones.

    Thank you, Mark.

    These are the two connectors :-
    3pin end
    4pin end

    Of course you could always make your own from the components that KustomPCs stocks.

    Note: I'm not employed by KustomePCs, just a satisfied customer.

    You don't need to see the end.

    The description says
    "Allows you to use a 4pin molex fan on a 3pin motherboard header".

    Which is what you want. You want to convert the molex to a 3pin. And the connector on the back of your fan controller is the same as a motherboard header.
