So I am attempting to power some 120mm PWM fans that work really well in daisy chains from my graphics card (xfx 4890 xxx edition):

I found on another forum some part numbers needed to put together most of the adapter, but am not quite there.

So far, I have found the housing and female contacts that connect to the graphics card PWM fan header:

what im looking for are the male pin contacts (most likely crimp style contacts) and a shrouded male PWM in-line housing connector, as shown in the photo below (circled in red):

If anyone has any input/help I would really appreciate it.

part numbers found so far on www.digikey.com are:

female GPU PWM housing P/N: 455-1164-ND
female contact connectors P/N: 455-1127-1-ND

You can get those pins from P-PC's

If you don't mind a bit of soldering,you can also go with this stuff here as well.

i actually did notice both of those parts on those websites. thanks for the info either way :) one thing about the frozencpu.com parts is one is the female fan connector for a CPU type PWM connection, which i am not going to be using (since im plugging into a VGA PWM connection), and the other male type connector is actually a PCB header, which is designed for soldering, rather than having crimp connectors.

i could probably exchange the pins on the CPU PWM header for those sold at P-PC's.com, but i would rather find the specific part im looking for if at all possible.


again thanks for helping me with the search waterlogged!! it is much appreciated!

so i realized (finally) exactly how difficult i was making this for myself... lol - so on one end of this adapter, there is going to be the graphics PWM fan header, which is female right.. the other end is going to be the male end of a normal CPU PWM header, only it needs to be an in-line type male connection.

So why didnt i just go find the appropriately lengthed PWM fan extension cable and just snip the end off? who knows. leave it to me to overcomplicate the idea...

part search no longer needed, but if someone does happen to find those shrouded ends, im still keeping my eyes open for them! thanks again
