I have 4 cases with fans that connect using small pin plastic connector.


The problem is I need them to plug into a 4 pin connector that has this type of plug:



I spent a few hours looking at new fans but decided that it was better to just find a gender changer or whatever...

What you think?

I think there might be a larger issue of PWM vs non PWM fan ...
Furthermore, this fan has two motors.
Two independent motors in terms of electricity.,
But dependent terms of generated air flow.
Will MoBo's electronics understand it?
May be better to buy other fans?

So replaced with three wire pin fans. Pulled from another super case. They register and only run at 12-13k rpm. Pretty much full speed. Mobo says it can control but nothing seems to work yet. Temps are of course good.
