Apple 5-Pin to 4-Pin Fan Adapter Pack

This five-piece adapter set converts a standard 4-pin or 3-pin fan connector to a 5-pin motherboard header. Each cable measures 17 cm including the connector ends. The adapters suit builders fitting PWM-controlled or voltage-controlled fans to boards that only provide a proprietary 5-pin socket.

Suits PWM and voltage fans on 5-pin headers

The converters support 4-pin temperature-controlled headers with PWM speed regulation and 3-pin silent fans that run at fixed voltage. They do not add speed control to a 3-pin fan. Buyers who need to connect a 5-pin fan to a standard 4-pin header should look for a reverse adapter instead.

Check header pin-out before ordering

Verify that your motherboard uses a 5-pin fan header with the same pin assignment as the adapter. Confirm the fan you plan to attach uses a standard 4-pin or 3-pin plug. The 17 cm length may limit routing options in larger chassis.

Questions about this item

What motherboard header do I need free to plug in the 5-pin end of this adapter?

The 5-pin connector on the adapter fits a proprietary 5-hole motherboard socket, so that specific header must be available on your board.

Will PWM speed control still work when I connect a 4-pin fan through one of these cables?

Yes, the adapter passes the PWM signal through from the 4-pin temperature-controlled header to the fan, preserving automatic speed control.

How can I confirm each adapter is seated correctly after installation?

With the system running, verify in BIOS or monitoring software that the connected fan reports an RPM reading and responds to PWM duty-cycle changes.
