Do i have to connect the four pin female end to a PSU or can i plug it into the four pin output on my motherboard?

You can only plug it into the PSU. It's maybe possible to plug it into the motherboard (with an adapter for 4 pin to 3/4pin fan connector) but ther may be consequences, Why? For one, if you plug in 4 fans onto one connector on the motherboard the fans won't work (won't spin at standard speed) and also a high chance it will short Circuit the motherboard due to over power usage. Just pug it into the PSU and your good, also keep in mind that the cable has 2 sets of different voltages (2 of each), make sure the fans would work with bolth voltages or one voltages are compatible.

I'm not aware of a four pin on a motherboard. Like it says, connect it to the power supply. It works fine as a 5volt or 12volt for a full speed fan.

I have mine plugged into a PSU. This is likely the only way to receive power.

Just plug it into the PCI express slot. Being fanless, it will receive enough power from the motherboard and not require direct connection to the power supply.

You should be able to plug a three pin into a 4 pin. Alternatively you could just rub them off the power supply with the right connectors.

Yup, it'll connect right up.Edit: I've got mine hooked up to my PSU powering six fans.

4 pin pwm connections which work on 3 pin as well. You can use it on a mobo with 1 fan connection with a powered pwm splitter that draws from the psu directly. That's my recommendation if you use a splitter that's not powered you might get some noise from the fans on start up. But that depends on the amps your mobo can provide. Hope that helps. Oh and by the way I replaced mine with a AIO water cooler and the temps are way better allowing for an additional oc of 0.4ghz

Both the 8 pin and the 24 pin are needed, however the PSU can be a 4 pin and 24 pin and still work. The 4/8 pin is used to provide additional power to the CPU, and also provides the first (upto) 75 watts of power to the GPU.

first use your motherboards fans available (4 or 3) pin ports with only 1 fan each and use power supply unit molex 4 pin conector to fan adapters for the ones remaining (take care psu max load current amp rate to avoid overloading each molex conector)

Motherboard connectors are +12V and this PSU comes with a 20+4 pin + 1x 8 pin + 1x 4+4 pin, all of it +12V. However I don't understand what you mean about a 8 pin motherboard (??). Old mobos come with a 20 pin + 1x 4 pin +12V connectors. If so you don't need this powerful PSU. Maybe you are asking for a 8 pin connector instead a 4+4 pin connector, if so the answer is yes.

It requires one 6-pin connector from the power supply. Source: I own the product and it is my current graphics card.

This has a 3 wire/3 pin connector you can plug directly into your motherboard IF your motherboard has an available "case fan" 3 pin connector. Not to be confused with a 4 pin PWM connector which is typically often labelled "CPU Fan" on the motherboard. Another alternative is to get a converter cable with 3 pin female on one end, and 4 pin "molex" on the other and plug into an available molex 4 pin connector if you have one of those available on your wiring harness coming out of the power supply. You CAN get an adapter cable to come off a 4 pin PWM connector to the 3 pin fan, and it should also work. 4 pin PWN is different than 4 pin Molex. Not sure what you are asking when you say "connect all on a single cable". Do you mean install all 4 fans in one pc and connect them all on the same power connection? The answer to that is you would want probably want to look at the specs for the power/voltage/current of the supply cable, and then calculate the load of the 4 fans to determine that. Probably yes....these don't draw a lot of power. But you'll most likely need a bunch of Y adapaters to do that. Also you may want to be aware that more fans in not always better....what you want is good airflow through the case. If you are just trying to connect 2 I'm pretty sure you can connect those off one line. I ran 3 off one line with no problem briefly until I installed a multifan controller -- then the controller plugged into one 4 pin molex for power and each fan plugged directly to the controller.Unlike Josh below, my 4 fan pack did not include any 3 pin to molex adpater...just the 4 fans with their 3 pin connectors. But another 80mm fan I bought from cooler master did come with 4pin molex to dual 3 pin connectors. You might have to buy some connectors depending on your options available in your box.

Your motherboard has 4pin connectors! Those are compatible with 3 OR 4 pin fans which is great! You'll be able to plug them into the slots labelled CPU_FAN, CPU_OPT, SYS_FAN1, SYS_FAN2, SYS_FAN3, on your mobo :)

all this wire does is split one 3 pin connecter on your motherboard into 2. all the connecters on this wire are female connecters meaning your male 3 pin connecters will only have 3 pins

It just need to be plugged into the USB port of your computer. You will need a fairly good PSU otherwise it will be unstable.

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.

If I'm not mistaken this power supply has two 4 pin connectors, so you should be fine. The 6 pin is for a graphics card. If you would like I can pull mine and take an inventory of the cables it has.

Most powersupplys have a 4 pin molex I'm not sure what 3 pin connection you have on your power supply. I left the fan on low (as a case fan) because I used it in a low power system
