Review on CRJ 4 Pin Female Sleeved Adapter by Montrell Copeland

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ideal if your graphics card fan connector fails

If your fans stop working, the connector is defective Fan on your graphics card, this adapter cable can save you a lot of trouble and money. Disconnect the graphics card fans from the graphics card and connect the fan header with this adapter cable. Plug the other end of the adapter cable into the vacant Q-Fan Controlled header on your motherboard and you're back in business! In my case I used the second motherboard fan header CPU_OPT so my fans run faster when the CPU is working harder and this correlates strongly with when the GPU is working harder during a game. Works great for me and since replacing my Gigabyte GTX-1080 gaming graphics card would cost me over $1200 at this point (and 2.x/3.x cards are sold out due to bitcoin farmers) I'm glad To be able to use this adapter cable again for the price! The cable is very well assembled with heat shrink tubing that reinforces both ends of the cable. The outer shell of the harness is a black woven fabric that is very strong and flexible to the touch and easy to lay. I am very satisfied with the quality of this product and would have no hesitation in recommending it if you need graphics card fans connected to the motherboard fan connector.

Pros
  • 4-pin mini connector found on most graphics card fans and pumps (for models with integrated liquid cooling)
Cons
  • Makes me angry
