Yes, on the motherboard, system fan 1 slot has 4 pins. The only reason you would be getting different levels of noise from the 2 fans is:Ġ2) if the voltage is set differently for the 2 different slots. the motherboard may have options to limit the voltage but it will not be PWM controlled. now you state they are both 3-pin.ģ-pin fans will run fine off of 4-pin slots but you cannot regulate the speeds. Insinuating that the fan is a 4-pin(PWM) fan. So wait, I'm a little confused.Both my case fans are 3 pin, and the 4 pin plug in works, so does that mean I'm fine and it will work?you originally stated, "my intake fan plugged into the "sysfan1" slot can be controller since it is a 4 pin" Once again, I kind of knew it was a dumb question and I kind of figured it would work, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to at least ask.īut just out of curiosity, are there any alternatives that are just as cheap as buying a 6 dollar cable? I wouldn't think there is since I only have one 4 pin connector on my motherboard. So I might just get the adapter first and go from there. Like I said, I'm just trying my best to make my pc as quiet as possible.which might not be too important since my GPU fan is pretty loud even on low lol. I tested it a few different ways, and the fan I plug into system fan 1 is whisper quiet so I figured if both were it would be fine. Yeah, I know I would only be able to control both and not each one separate, but I can't think of any other alternatives. Whether those fans specifically are the best use of $10 each is debatable though. Aftermarket fans, although I have no experience with those fans specifically, tend to be rated for lower noise. Stock fans tend to be the budget/entry level fans, so price is the main factor, not noise or even quality. Setting one to 50% speed for example, would set both to 50% speed. The problem then is you'd not be able to adjust them independently of each other. To control both, you'd need a 4 pin to 2x4pin splitter, attached to sysfan1. Without it, it'll generally run at standard speeds (potentially max, depending on the board). Generally the fourth pin is for speed control.
