Never seen a fan connector like this before so my qeustion is, how the hell do I power them?

Cheers people.

Looks like the middle is just straight pwm, but with 2 extra pins on the side, what the heck.

What make & model are they ?

 

[ZeroInfinity94]

It's definitely not PWM the connector is way to short, it's about 7mm.
It looks kind of like an RGB connector to me but if it is, how would that power the actual fan if it can pull up to 12V

Are those Anidees Halo fans?

We cant help much if we dont know model

 

[ZeroInfinity94]

should just sit on the normal fan headers or use the 4 pin molex

 

[ZeroInfinity94]

Will try plugging it into a fan header once I get back, the molex that's on the product page doesn't exist on the actual fan.

Tried plugging into a fan header, never worked. The connector doesn't line up with the fan header at all.

That's not the connector shown in the product picture. Was there another set of wires in the box?

 

[ZeroInfinity94]

Nope no other cables in the box just the connector in the first post.

After looking around on the net it would appear that the connector is a power and rgb connector.

Basically instead of doing like most companies in using iirc a single or dual lead setup, this company has decided that you would need a control box in order to power them and setup the RGB.

My advice return them and buy some decent fans, from a decent supplier like OCUK, Scan, Aria etc etc
