However, only the single 4-Pin output connector supports full PWM speed regulation and RPM monitoring. Fans plugged into the two 3-Pin outputs will receive temperature-controlled voltage regulation but will not report RPM back to the motherboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: Will this 4-Pin PWM fan splitter cable work with 3-Pin fans?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Absolutely. All three output connectors are compatible with standard 3-Pin fans. Keep in mind that 3-Pin fans connected here will not support PWM speed regulation, but will function normally. Motherboards that support DC voltage-based speed regulation offer even broader compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: Why do only two of the three outputs have 3 pins instead of 4?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: This is an intentional design to prevent tachometer signal conflicts. Since a motherboard header can only read one fan's RPM at a time, the speed-measurement (tachometer) pin has been removed from two of the three outputs. The power supply and speed regulation functions are completely unaffected on all three outputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: Is this cable compatible with my motherboard?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: This cable is designed to work with any standard ATX motherboard featuring a 4-Pin fan header. It is widely compatible across major motherboard brands.
