    I just recived a couple of male and female fan connectors, I already installed the female connectors but I have nomidea how to connect the male ones :blush:

    Do I just solder the wires onto the pins or is there an easy way?

    Here is a picture of the connector

    Is that for 2 female connectors to plug into? If not then just solder them on I guess, Or you can get something from hardware shops (not sure what it's called) that is metal and wraps around wires and pins.

    Looks more suited to a PCB mount to be truthful.

    What's wrong with a standard female 3-Pin header?

    I bought these together with the female connectors but didn't notice untill a few days ago that they weren't like the normale male connectors..
    I'm quite confused how to make these work...
