FAQs

What type of fans are compatible?

Does this cable support fan speed control?

The cable is 15cm in length.

Can I connect more than two fans?

This cable is designed to split a single fan connection into two. Connecting more fans than supported by the motherboard header is not recommended.

Is this cable safe to use?

Yes, it is safe to use as long as the connected fans do not exceed the power output limits of your motherboard's fan header.

How do I install the cable?

Plug the splitter cable into a 3-pin fan header on your motherboard, and connect the fans to the splitter.

Troubleshooting

Fans are not spinning.

Check the power connection to the motherboard header and ensure the fans are correctly connected to the splitter cable. Verify the fans are functional.

One fan is spinning, the other is not.

Check the connection of the non-spinning fan to the splitter cable. Test the fan independently to check if it is faulty.

System overheating.

Ensure both fans are spinning. Check for any obstructions to airflow inside the case. Consider repositioning fans for better airflow.
