Ok guys, need some clarification here. The JST 1.25mm pitch standard is JST GH. The JST 1.00mm pitch standard is JST SH. I understand we're only talking 0.25mm here, but which one is accurate for the device? I really don't want to go cutting any existing cables, I'd rather buy a cable preterminated with the JST female adapter and add molex male adapter to it so I can connect the Noctua. That way I can always go back to factory original if necessary.

Interested to know how you got on with the Noctua fan install? I am in exactly the same position myself with 2 x VEP1445's and looking at the Noctua's too but would rather not hack at the existing wires on the standard fans.

I ultimately decided to go ahead and cut the wires on the cable to the existing fan, then cut the noctua extension cable in half and scotchlok'd them together. That put the JST connector to the 3-pin male on the noctua-provided cable, then I could connect the noctua 3-pin female to that. Since I had purchased some time ago a box of scotchlok connectors, I also went ahead and wired the other half of the noctua extension to the factory fan, that way if I ever decide to pull the noctuas out, I can go back to factory, albeit spliced, configuration.
