can you use this on only one fan and have it act as an extension? i bought a fan to plug in to the mother board but power cable is to short

Yes you certainly can. Keep in mind the pwm means it has 4 pins. Double check to make sure you get the correct adapter for your needs, you can also get an extension cable (non Y) for fan's as well, they vary in length from a few inches to several feet. Hope this helps.

I suppose you could but it would probably be cheaper to just get a single extension cable

You need still need to buy another power connector to make the connection. As for the fan having speed control it does not for that model.

Yes, but. Depending upon your memory configuration and motherboard layout, you may only be able to use one fan on the cooler. Also, in my case, I had to remove one of the side panel fans. But it works every bit as good as my liquid cooled system, so I am quite pleased. (I was able to keep both fans on the cooler.)

While I am not sure about that, I have used it with two. Funny I should get a question about this today as the fan on mine is giving out already and making a horrid noise and keeps crashing my machine :/

I hooked the fan up to a molex plug but I don't see why it wouldn't work using the 3 pin connector. My side fan is connected directly to my mobo using the 3 pin connector and works just fine.

No it just lets you connect multiply fans to 1 usb header. They work well it is usually needed if you have lots of fans but only a few usb fan connect spots on your mother board. Note fan speeds are controlled by cpu load or fan controller on some later cpu chips. The 2 fans connected to this will run at the same speed.

Yes, you will be able to, however, the fans will always run at MAX speed. I was previously using it directly to the PSU, now its is connected to a fan controller.

Yes allows two fans to be plugged into one outlet on the motherboard. Mine works great, runs both fans on my water cooler.

Yeah I had that in my fan info too. But the info with this control says not to use it with a solid state fan. Who even knows what these "solid state" things are. You should be fine.

This will work if your fans are low amps. If they are industrial type high amps it will break fast.

Nope, but you could use a "Silverstone Tek Sleeved PWM Fan Splitter Cable" to connect both fans t the motherboard header.

I did look at replacing the fan with a quieter PC case fan. There isn't a connector, it's hardwired. And as mentioned, if you are good with a soldering iron then you should be able to solder a new one in. But is is definitly not plug and play, like you might see inside a computer case.

I don't think so, fans are designed to suck air through one port,unless fan is reversible,do what I did and buy longer inlet ductwork.

Yes it is possible, I personally left the stock one and just added two extra one where the case does not provide. It is just up to you. If you have the extra money to buy three fans . Go for it !

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.

That is an option, but the cooler works well with the two fans. It is the best cooler I have purchased. This is my forth. Good Luck

This should work fine if doubled , I would make sure this item is plugged into the back so it's getting power from the main board not another extension
