I am looking to replace a bad CPU fan for an AMD Athlon II X3 445, AM3 socket(938). It has a 3 pin connector currently. What this 4pin connector work?

i would try it and see if it works . i have used them before and seemed to work ok. does it fit the cpu like your other fan? if yes give it a try. and i would check your bios to see if the fan is working at or near the speed that`s normal. a lot of boards have bios that tell you the operating speed of the fan

I don't see why it shouldn't work however you won't get to use the "control" 4th pin of it. I never had a reason to use it unless you are a tweaker.

Your motherboard has an 8 pin CPU power connector. The power supply unit has (one) 4x4 pin. You'll need a power supply with an 8 pin connector, or one with (two) 4x4 pins.

this cpu is not compatible in an am3 socket. if you want a 6 core get a phenom ii 6 core 1100t or a 1055t if you want to save money. ive owned both and they were great i run an fx 8350 now but the phenom ii where great too! just make sure you use an ssd for boot drive. you'll have an insane beast ;D

It is a 4 pin. It will work on a 3 pin connector, but it will be a single speed (the 4th pin is the PWM/speed control pin). Make sure you're aware that its max TDP cooling capacity is 65 watts). I was using this cooler on a 65w court, and it would not keep it cool enough for me in an ITX build....I changed it out for a stock cooler....a bit more noise, but the cpu now stays in the upper 30c, where as with this cooler temps were always in the high 50s.

The included fan is a 3-pin. And it is quite loud. I replaced it with a 4-pin pwm (with equivalent size and air flow) from Cooler Master. It is much quiter, but this cooler only performs OK for the amount of money I spent in total. Luckily that build will not be overclocked, and I can be happy with the definite improvement over the stock part.It will cool your fx-8350 according to the specs on the box, but I would not use this on a high performance CPU like yours over something like the CM Hyper 212 unless your case cannot fit a tall heatsink.

Sure budy no problem, the fourth pin is just for monitoring the rpm from your fan you could fit the fan in the way that fit in the power plug for the fan. Dont worry and proceed always with caution. Take care and good luck.

David, this AMD FX-8150 8-Core Black Edition Processor Socket AM3+ FD8150FRGUBOX comes with a CPU fan and but liquid cooled can be used. This processor will work only on a AM3+ board. Yes of course all features will be provided if the board you choose supports the features. If you don't plan on over clocking just use the supplied fan.

The water cooling unit uses a 4 prong connector but only 3 prongs are there, I personally set this to a molex converter since the power has to be constant anyway - the water cooling unit won't change anything based on system need. However, the Fan that comes with this unit uses a 4 pin and should probably go into your CPU Fan slot on your motherboard. It'll work with 3 pins as well, but having the variable fan control will help it not be too loud. I personally use an after-market fan and the fan that came with this unit, the after market is used on the CPU fan port and I put the coolermaster fan in one of the case fan ports and set it to the lowest RPM available (30%) since it can be a bit loud.

Yes they do use 3 pin connectors. There is only one fan provided but space for one in the front and one in rear. I bought an additional fan for good flow though.

Yes any AM3 coolers work with the AM3+ series, the form stayed the same, pins changed.

Your best bet is to get a fan with a 3-pin connector and plug it into one of the "case fan" headers on your mother board, then you can set the speed/temp profile in your BIOS like you do for the CPU fan. You could also buy a 4-pin molex fan and plug it into the power supply as you mentioned. Last, you could get a Y adapter to run it off the 3/4-pin "cpu fan" header on the board but I would not suggest that.

Don't know but my board was support 3-pin and it was as per my requirement... and did not try using NZXT Individually Sleeved 3Pin fan Y Cable

Yes, a nice heatsink and fan with a 4-pin connector. You will also get a small information page about the processor and a nice sticker to put on your computer with the AMD logo.

The fx-8350 is an AM3+ socket and should work. However, my experience with this board is that I bought three of them, 2 I could not get the USB ports to work and the third would not operate at all. I then tried an ASUS board and had no issues at all.

Both of the fans join together to make a normal 4 pin fan connector. Even with a very basic motherboard, I doubt you'd have any trouble.
