SMUGDESK IDE 4Pin D Male to 4-Way 3Pin Fan Power Splitter Cord

SKU CH-5TN0-1YYF2

Converts one IDE 4Pin D connector into four 3Pin fan ports for 12V DC cooling expansion

  • Converts one IDE 4Pin D connector into four 3Pin fan ports
  • Direct PSU power avoids motherboard header overload risk
  • Supplies standard 12V DC power to all 3Pin cooling fans
  • Flexible cable layout enables tidy internal chassis routing
  • Molded connectors and durable jacket ensure reliable long-term contact

Power Expansion for PC Cooling

This SMUGDESK splitter converts a single IDE 4Pin D male connector from your power supply into four independent 3Pin fan ports. It is designed for desktop builders who need to run multiple chassis, radiator or CPU cooler fans but lack enough motherboard headers. The cable delivers a standard 12V supply to every connected fan.

Compatibility Check Before Ordering

Verify that your power supply still has a free IDE 4Pin D connector, as this is the only power source the splitter uses. Confirm that the fans you intend to connect are standard 3Pin DC models, because the ports carry power only and do not support PWM speed control. Ensure the cable length and routing suit your case layout for tidy installation.

Who This Suits and Who Should Look Elsewhere

Ideal for builders expanding a multi-fan cooling setup without loading the motherboard fan headers, reducing the risk of overcurrent on the mainboard. Not suitable for users who require PWM fan speed regulation through the splitter, or for systems that lack an available IDE 4Pin D connector on the PSU.

Questions about this item

Does the cable come with any fans or do I need to supply my own 3Pin fans?

The splitter cable only provides four 3Pin power ports; you must connect your own 3Pin DC cooling fans to use it.

Should I choose a different splitter if I want PWM speed control for my fans?

Yes, the 3Pin ports on this cable transmit 12V power only, so PWM speed control is not available through this splitter.

Will the fans run at full speed all the time when powered from the PSU IDE connector?

The cable supplies a constant 12V DC feed from the power supply, so connected 3Pin fans will run at their maximum rated speed.
