CRJ 4-Pin PWM GPU Fan Adapter Cable All Black Sleeved for Graphics Cards

My suggestion would be to buy a 4 pin to mini 4 pin adapter and plug them back into the card. Otherwise you'll need to control the fan curve via BIOS.

I got the Raijintek Morpheus II a few weeks ago to silence my blower style 1080. It's fiddly but with enough patience and pressure the cooling fins stick quite good. I didn't think too much about the "how to control the fans" question beforehand, so tried a case-fan header in the beginning. Since mainboards usually cannot access the GPU-temperature this didn't work so well. I got myself this which now runs 2 noctua fans. Sadly my 1080 doesn't support zero-rpm-mode and the bios has a min fanspead of 33% which is too loud in idle, so I added one of the noctua silent-adapters. Now it's really quiet and the temps are impressive. 29° idle and 76° max while staying really quiet.

gotcha, as for the connector to the GPU would something like this work?

thanks for the tips man!

Where did you find a slim RGB 92mm fan?

This should be the connector you need: https://www.amazon.com/CRJ-4-Pin-Adapter-Sleeved-Graphics/dp/B07Q5BTTDX/

yes. There's m.2 port on the back. Lucky for me and since I'm lazy I never moved m.2 SSD to the front. Because of that my front is currently clear for this part!. Not just that but using this and by eliminating the front heatsink and that stupid tiny fan. I could run another tiny noctua.

The measurement of that piece you got is 60mm in the dimension that matters most but that is nothing compared to length of ssds that are supposed to fit there. The only problem is the power it needs. I was going to run it off the 2nd GPU power plug but my 980 ti is merciless with power. In fact my build is unstable with thermals due to the heat that card dissipates . But it's a beast in the winter nonetheless lmao.

I'll comment or post when I manage to deshroud it. If I don't forget, I'll ping you. But I'm 80% positive that you can take off the shroud without taking off the cooler and those pesky stickers. I've ordered these adapters: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Q5BTTDX/ But I'm sure any similar adapter will work fine. It's just 4 wires. I've bought 2 of these and I'll be able to connect my external fans directly to the motherboard this way. I also wanna test if exhaust or intake will work better for temperatures...

A dual fan card with heatpipes will be the quietest option. There are some cheap extruded aluminum heatsink designs without heatpipes (eg. "Ventus XS"). You want to avoid those.

If it still isn't quiet enough for you, the next step is to pull the shroud off and swap the fans for Noctuas (slim ones like NF-A9x14 if necessary), using an adapter like this one.

The card has two mini fan head connectors. So you will need two of these https://www.amazon.com/CRJ-4-Pin-Adapter-Sleeved-Graphics/dp/B07Q5BTTDX/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=pwm+fan+gpu&qid=1607944385&s=hi&sr=1-2-catcorr

Would this work? For the heatsink... no telling bruh you may need to CNC a custom heatsink

H55 is a "dumb" AIO, in that its pump only needs power. You can connect it to any 3-pin fan header on your motherboard, just remember which one it is if you're monitoring RPM. As for the fan on the H55, you can get an adapter and plug the fan directly into the video card so the fan speed is still controlled by the GPU.

“GPU fan adapter”. I personally own three of these, and they work fine: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Q5BTTDX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_lHM5FbSFHXKKV?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

This is correct, you will need somethiNg like this: CRJ 4-Pin PWM GPU Fan Adapter Cable All Black Sleeved for Graphics Cards https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Q5BTTDX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_CUBvEbNPTGK4R

Neither :)

CRJ 4-Pin PWM GPU Fan Adapter... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Q5BTTDX?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Ya you should be ok, you have to use the thermal tape stuff to hold the heatsinks, unless you have really sticky thermal pads. This is the adapter I used, I bought two of them, using one rn, cant seem to find what I did with the other one tho. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Q5BTTDX/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_R-CNEbTQ4VKN4

Not a dumb question. In my case I currently have: + Arctic P12 PWM PST fans, which have built in splitters for daisy chaining + The top two fans are plugged into my MB chassis fan header (it only has one 😔) + The bottom fans are plugged into the original fan plug on the GPU using an adapter like this one

Depending on how things work after some testing I’ll consider getting a separate fan controller.

FYI the NR200 also comes with a 3x1 fan splitter in the box

btw, if you want to do the fan mod, you're going to need a VGA PWM adapter, like this one or search for "gelid pwm vga". Aliexpress has them too. Personally I like to daisychain one with a Y-splitter so you have the option to connect more intake/exhaust case fans to your vga fan curve instead of CPU.

Try this: https://www.amazon.com/CRJ-4-Pin-Adapter-Sleeved-Graphics/dp/B07Q5BTTDX/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=gpu+fan+adapter&qid=1589571365&sr=8-4

You could probably find a pin out for the CRJ and DIY an adapter.

That is the CRJ connector. And if you bought the motherboard NEW, it comes with an adapter cable for that connector(please read the manual). If you bought it used and does not have that cable. You can buy one here: CRJ to FAN cable

i actually bought 2 of the CRJ 1-to-1s of this type hoping it would match, but the 4pin fan connectors on my EVGA card are different and smaller. they don't use the standard mini 4pin. the unknown "micro" 4pin connectors for the 2 fans then combine with the RGB wiring harness into a single connector which plugs into the card pcb. arctic sells this "nv adapter" connector as a spare part, but i'm not willing to pay 46 euro shipping for a $2 connector

I will Wednesday when my Noctuas come in lol. Hopefully I'll figure out a better way to run the wiring to be honest.

This is the GPU to fan adapter.

This is basically the splitter I used. I just had one laying around.

As far as how the wiring is ran the 40mm wires are zip tied together close to the fans then run down the side with the rest of the wires. Then I zip tied the 92mm fan wires together, plugged them in, and did a lot of folding with another zip tie. The BEST solution would be to cut all of the wires to length and solder them together/add connectors.

This little guy:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07T95C68T/

You plug this in your GPU card after removing the existing fans, then connect to your two floor fans. My GPU actually came with two fan connectors, so I could have bought two of these instead.

This sub is all about tempting yourself to spend more money, haha.

So for most people the SF600 is quiet, but for some it isn't. Seems to come down to the fan spinning at full speed anytime it spins instead of variable speed based on temps/load/whatever. Before I replaced the fan it was the loudest thing in my system by far (and it was inside of a case then). With the Noctua fan I literally never hear it. It was easy to do, just get an adapter (I think this is it) and the slim Noctua 92mm fan. 4 screws to get the PSU cover off, 4 screws to get the stock fan off, plug in the adapter and fan, screw the fan and the cover back on. Takes 5 minutes. Be careful about exposed PSU components though. Also I'm not sure of the long term impacts of this mod as the Noctua fan obviously isn't designed for the SF600 so may not provide proper cooling, but I did this mod over a year ago and haven't had any issues, and no one else has reported any issues as far as I know.

​

The GPU fan swap was definitely worth it. Stock fans were pretty audible whenever they turned on which happened constantly since there's no way to disable the zero-RPM mode on this card. The noise of 2 (100?)mm fans spinning suddenly at high speed every 10 minutes 18" from my head is rather annoying. They were also somewhat noisy while gaming although I use headphones so not a big deal. In contrast I never hear the 120mm fans regardless of what I'm doing, and surprisingly they stay spinning at around 800rpm once the GPU reaches 57° for the first time after boot-up instead of running and stopping constantly. I am using a custom fan curve though (doesn't seem to prevent the stock fans from dropping to zero RPM for some reason). They're plugged directly into the GPU fan connector with this adapter so as far as software is concerned they're the stock fans. Also they dropped my GPU temps 10° while running much slower than the stock fans.

​

Answer for your last question. I can stuff the bulk of a regular 24 pin cable in the passthrough on the Xproto or get a custom 24 pin cable to span the short gap between PSU and mobo, but I already had the J-HACK from a previous build so why not use it? Also there's A LOT of cable clutter in the spine of the case and the J-HACK substantially reduces routing headaches in that narrow space (it's 7 cables instead of 24 and they're very short). A custom super short 24 pin cable would've been even better but I already had an effective option on hand, no need to spend EVEN MORE money, haha.

Just an update: did a teardown of my MSI Nvidia RTX 2080 Ventus 8G tonight and found that it has 2x 4-pin connectors on the PCB, one white and one black. Not sure if that's 1 per fan (since the card has 2 fans) or what, but I think it'll work for what I need. Went ahead and purchased this adapter which should work: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Q5BTTDX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I used those to do the same on my 1080ti: https://www.amazon.com/CRJ-4-Pin-Adapter-Sleeved-Graphics/dp/B07Q5BTTDX/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=vga+fan+header+cable&qid=1581445301&s=electronics&sr=1-2

​

The one you bought should work as well... That's weird.

Another solution: If you are not planning on reusing the old shrould you could cut the old fan wires and splice them with a regular fan extension cable.

You could use a PWM GPU adapter like this and connect it to a fan hub like this. Connect the AIO pump and radiator fan to the hub. Your GPU now controls fan and pump speed. Just make sure the hub has power. You can also control the RPM with software like Radeon Settings and MSI Afterburner.

Adapter

I do not overclock because my card is in an SFF case. I used to have to undervolt with the original shroud but since I did the fan mod, I have it set at stock speeds and power levels (I run at 90% power limit). Also, the noctua fans have a much lower pitch than the 100mm stock fans so even at full tilt it's much quieter than stock.

See this for power limit issues causing high heat.

This and this.

The Noctuas are plugged into my GPU as it has mini 4 pin fan headers.

I used these two cables to connect all three fans to the GPU header.

i have the OCD sickness lol . sooo i been preparing for this, the fan failing .. the problem imo is that the fan have a GPU 4 pin header on the mobo making it not easy to replace the fan. but i have found a solution. i ordered this off amazon today .. i like to be in control , we are screwed to hope gigabtye will sell you the 30mm "GPU" 4 pin fan.. the links i put below

i am going to use this as soon as it arrives .. i hate that gigabyte used a GPU fan header.. but at least we can get around it

I've been researching for a build that uses an AIO for GPU cooling, and I thought I'd post my collection of notes (so far) here in case anyone else finds it useful.

• You need the Kraken G12. Stock, it will not fit in the T1 in the dual-slot configuration. Should be ok in the triple-slot configuration.

• If you want to use in dual slot config, you'll need to cut down the edge on the G12 and replace the 92mm VRM fan with a slim one.

• The Corsair H55 seems to be the lowest profile AIO available. On /r/buildapcsales it seems it used to go on sale for about $30 USD, but now MSRP seems to be about $75 (if you can even find it in stock).

• You'll need to air cool your CPU, since the T1 doesn't support dual 120mm radiators.

• Next comes fan control. You'll essentially have 3 devices to control: the pump, the VRM fan, and the radiator fan. You could hook each one up to a motherboard header, but then you'll be limited to linking them to the CPU temp or case temp. Not ideal.

• There are some programs which can link to the GPU temp, but they all seem to have some drawbacks. SpeedFan is apparently no longer being updated. Argus Monitor is a paid app, and you must renew your license every 1 or 3 years. Asus Fan Xpert 4 supposedly can do it if you have an Asus motherboard, but I've seen a lot of complaints about GPU temp linking not working properly.

• There are ways to physically connect these components to your GPU. Some GPUs use a mini 4-pin connector, in which case you'd just need an adapter. They also come as splitters. However, if you have an RTX 2000 series with a reference PCB, it won't have that connector. Instead, you'd need an "Nvidia 14 pin adapter", which I can only find from Arctic. Maybe you could pull this cable out of your cooler instead? Not sure how easy that would be. But you would still need the mini 4-pin adapter, so 2 adapters daisy chained.
