Hello,

I've just brought a CPU cooler (CM Seidon 120M) that use 2x4pin for the Fan & the cooler head, but found out my MB only support ONE 3 Pin connector... so if is possible i connect the Fan to a 4 Pin To 3 PIN Fan Extension like the picture below?

My concern is will it affect the Fan Speed control thingy? And will it works or not? <-- it suppose to be right

Your fan is PWM version, so use CPU_FAN header(4-pin) for it. For Seidon pump, you can use either other 3-pin header on your mobo or use that adapter.

Thanks for the reply, buy i got only one CPU_FAN (3-Pin).... i'm using GA-M56S-S3

The Seidon Pump can be connect to any power source right?

As per spec sheet, your mobo have 1 CPU fan connector 4-pin (beside CPU place) & 1 System fan connector 3-pin (right bottom beside LED).

Yes, Seidon pump can connect direct to PSU.

Actually i do have 1 CPU fan connector & 1 system fan connector but it doesn't work after i plug in the Fan to the system fan connector....

So the best is that PWM fan connect to CPU_Fan header & others (casing fan, Seidon pump) connect to PSU using that adapter you've shown. By that, the fan speed is variable accordingly to CPU temperature.

I see, thanks for the advice, appreciate that.
