Manufactured by the renowned brand Gelid Solutions, this adapter features a 4-pin power connector and operates on a voltage of 12 volts. Its cooling method is through air, generating a noise level less than 20 decibels, making it ideal for use in desktops and laptops. The dimensions of this adapter are approximately 5 inches long, 2 inches wide, and 5 inches tall, and is made of durable plastic. The product is compatible with a wide range of devices and easily adapts to your existing cooling system. With this high-quality adapter, you can be sure that your video card will be protected and cooled properly. Review: GPU Header a little too rigid - The GELID Silent PWM (4 pin) Fan Adaptor cable, allows you to connect standard fans (such as Silent Wings or Noctuas) with PWM (4 pin) headers directly to the GPU via this cable. If your GPU and software allows, it will also permit control of the fans via the GPU software for more precise cooling on your GPU. The main issue with this particular cable, is that the GPU side of this cable (mini header) can be tough to insert into the GPUs actual fan header because of how rigid the cable is. This can be circumvented through gentle bending of the cable to the angle that you need it to. I was successfully able to bend it to somewhere between 45 and 90 degrees (but not beyond) without damaging the adaptor cable. I would advise buyers of this cable to be aware of this particular issue, as there have been reports in other reviews by other buyers that they ended up damaging or breaking their cables. Of note, a more minor issue, is that the other side of this cable which allows users to attach their own fans is not of solid construction, so the pins are mobile within their housing and so buyers of this cable need to take extra care not to bend the pins accidentally by forcing in their fan connections unless they are sure the pins are in line with your fan connection. Other than those two points, the cable serves perfectly well to adapt a mini Fan Header on a GPU to a standard PWM Fan, permitting those who wish to install their own fans onto a GPU to do so. For alternatives, on desertcart, there is a different version of this cable named EK Water Blocks Adapter Fan to GPU that does not have the same sleeving as this cable does, so it is much more flexible, allowing easier installation for certain setups. If potential purchasers in need of a cable like this find the stiff cable to be an issue, I would recommend that you seek that one out instead. Review: Great, check your hardware first though! - Fantastic product, got a VGA cooler on my GTX 970, keeping it cool and super quiet! Never goes above 50c, fans never spin. One thing to watch out for, which I did not, check your GPU before you purchase, most have 4 pin fan headers, but some have 3 (I have never seen any with two, but they may be out there) all I had to do to make it work was mod the connector so it would fit in, I wouldnt advise modding the connector on your card in case it ever needs warranty work, always mod the cable imo. The error was on my part, and isnt exactly a stonker, just something to watch out for. ## Features - PWM Fan Adapter for VGA Cooler Fan - Controls the PWM fan of your after market VGA Cooler - Controls the fan speed of 4pin PWM fan by the PWM signal of the display card ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005ZKZEQA | | Best Sellers Rank | 53,417 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 499 in Power Supplies 10,545 in Cables (Computers & Accessories) | | Brand | Gelid Solutions | | Brand Name | Gelid Solutions | | Colour | VGA PWM Fan Adaptor | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Laptop | | Compatible devices | Desktop, Laptop | | Connector Type | 4-pin | | Connector type | 4-pin | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 918 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04897025780453 | | Input Voltage | 12 Volts (DC) | | Item Dimensions | 12.7 x 5.1 x 12.7 centimetres | | Item Weight | 10 Grams | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 12.7 x 5.1 x 12.7 centimetres | | Manufacturer | Gelid | | Manufacturer Part Number | CA-PWM-02 | | Model Number | CA-PWM-02 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Ports | 4 | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Power Plug Type | No Plug | | Smart Home Compatibility | Not Smart Home Compatible | | Specific Uses For Product | personal | | Specific uses for product | personal | | UPC | 077344718748 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Gelid Solutions - **Cable type:** VGA - **Compatible devices:** Desktop, Laptop - **Connector type:** 4-pin - **Special feature:** PWM Fan Speed Control ## Images ![Gelid PWM Adaptor Cable for VGA Cooler Fans - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/21F6hyvO9BL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this the correct connector for my asus strix r9 390?** A: Provided the PWM connector pins out correctly, (some companies use nonstandard pinouts to be trolls) it looks like it. Never had a 390 in my repertoire, but the PCB photo looks like a male 4-pin VGA connecor is what you have. I’d reference the pinout on the cooler fans, but it more than likely will be standard. Also, make sure whatever aftermarket fans you get can be properly powered and modulated by the card. **Q: Cant seem to ajust fan speed. need help asap** A: It has to be a 4 pin pwm fan. I had the blue wire break off of the connector on mine and that's the wire that controls the speed. **Q: Can this be used on an xbox 360 slim motherboard to connect a led 4pin pwm fan to it i’m trying to avoid splicing if i can???** A: It definitely looks like the xbox 360 slim that has a 5 pin gpu header and did not use a custom one like dell would do. I watched a youtube video by HUBBY000001 and it looks like that's exactly what he did. If you want to avoid splicing but have to cut the wires, this makes it easy as a single cut: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0076AY6J8/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_4?smid=A1EWJ4VPL1SU6G&psc=1 "3M Scotchlok IDC Butt Connector" it basically splices it for you and has insulating gel built in, it's what i use for PSU fan swaps. **Q: Can someone tell me how wide the connector is that connects to the gpu? i have a server motherboard with a 6mm fan header.** A: This connects a 3 /4 pin cooling device to your GPU (the white connector). This will allow GPU level fan and sensor control of the device you connect to it.
