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

I think you can use your graphics card built-in fan controller if you use a GPU fan cable adapter like this: https://www.amazon.com/CRJ-Splitter-Adapter-Sleeved-Graphics/dp/B07T95C68T/

Planning to do something like you did for my crappy loud single fan 1660 Super

Just a cheap GPU to PWM adapter! -> https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07T95C68T/

I bought this adapter for my RX 580. Noctua fans can then plug in straight to the GPU pcb.

I just did a quick search and found these

https://www.amazon.com/CRJ-Splitter-Adapter-Sleeved-Graphics/dp/B07T95C68T

They look somewhat like the headers on the cooler I have. Does this look like the adapter you used?

It’s super easy, but varies by manufacturer since they all have different cooler designs.

All you’ll need:

•A small screwdriver

•This adapter cable if you want to connect the fans directly to your GPU’s internal fan header. It’s a simpler wire up because the fans are controlled directly by GPU temps, though alternatively you can always hook it up to a fan header (make sure you have a y-splitter handy because I’m sure you won’t have many empty fan headers) on your Mobo and control them from there. Your mobo knows the temp of your GPU anyway but you’ll most likely need to install MSI Afterburner to set a custom fan curve either way.

•mini ZIP ties to mount the fans to your cooler

•(optional, I like to do it while I’m in there) 90%+ running alcohol to clean and repaste your GPU die. Throw on some of the good shit like Thermal Grizzly Liquid Metal, Noctua Nt-H1, or Artic MX-4. You’ll find some tutorials for reposting your GPU but I just recommend a little cross of paste, longer on the long edge of the rectangular die.

Hope that helps! I just deshrouded my Zotac 2060 Super Mini and I’m putting a pair of NF-A9x14’s on it for a really tiny built. You should be able to fit.two 120mm 25mm thick fans on your card, I recommend Noctua NF-A12x25 for the premium or BeQuiet Silent Wings 3 for a great budget alternative.

This is the one I used for my 1080ti FE.

Easier than going to the mobo! I used this adapter/splitter: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T95C68T

I deshrouded my 1070 ti and used this for dual noctua 120s in the bottom in exhaust. So much better than stock setup.

CRJ 4-Pin PWM GPU Dual Fan... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T95C68T?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I used the NZXT G10 (predecessor to the G12) paired with a R9 290 and Corsair H55 for several years. These are my take aways:

• Even though it was a 275W card, a 120mm radiator did surprisingly well. One major advantage over CPUs is that it is direct die cooling. GPU load temps dropped ~20C from low 90s to low 70s. It might have gotten cooler if I used a more aggressive fan curve.

• Even with lower temps, there wasn't much overclocking headroom left in my R9 290. I only got a stable 100MHz overclock.

• The fan on the G10/G12 is not enough. You absolutely need to place heatsinks on the VRM and VRAM. This is one plus for the Accelero III. It comes with all the little heatsinks you need

• By the time I was done setting it up, it cost more than I expected, but I ended up liking it a lot. There are just a ton of little things you need to buying. These are the prices at the time I did this in 2014:

• NZXT G10 - $30

• Corsair H55 - $60
• Noctua NF-F12 - $20
• Copper VRM/VRAM heatsinks & thermal glue - $15
• GPU to CPU fan header adaptor & splitter - $8

So the final cost was over $130 before taxes and not including the GPU. I got a great deal for the GPU. I bought it for $200 from a miner. In 2014, that was basically half price.

Was it worth it? For me personally, it absolutely was. I went from a jet engine blower to a silent card. However, I am not sure it would be worth it for someone who doesn't have a blower cooler on their video card.

Connected it to the GPU with this.

Generally you can use an adapter like this or if you plug them into the Mobo you can usually set a custom fan curve but most likely won't be able to select the GPU as a monitor option

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T95C68T/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_jHcrEbMN0Y2YF

What I did was use the two to one adapter that the fans come with. I connected the two fans into the two fans slots. Then I cut off the connector from the fans that the gpu came with, I stripped off the tips of those wires for then to have good contact. Then I just stuck every one of the wires into the other end of that y connector then I heat shrunk where they join and plugged that into where the original fans plugged into. Or you can go the easy route.

Is the EVGA XC a reference board layout or custom from EVGA?

As for the fan headers, I thought there were converter cables for them. And after all the hacking you've done, you're going to let a few connections or a little soldering stand in your way? In the worst case, you could connect to the motherboard fan headers and use some fan control software.

They make dual fan versions: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07T95C68T/

Been using this for over a year now.

I orderd this one user lushroom adviced https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T95C68T/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_4cNzEbXEBQSN5

Is that same as a Y splitter? (Could you link a Y splitter? Then i know what to get in case my cable doesn't work)

I'm asking for your country because taking the cooler off doesn't void the warranty in some countries, like the US.

https://www.amazon.com/CRJ-Splitter-Adapter-Sleeved-Graphics/dp/B07T95C68T

Got ya - I use a pretty similar setup then. This may help you out.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T95C68T/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_apa_i_-2vrEbWNQ8J5X

Double check that your GPU is a mini 4pin connector for the fans, but this will allow your GPU to fully control the fans instead of through the Mobo - and you can use Afterburner or whatever you like for your custom curve 👍

You would have to get an adapter.

https://www.amazon.com/CRJ-Splitter-Adapter-Sleeved-Graphics/dp/B07T95C68T/ref=sr_1_2?crid=V709DMN7XTDJ&dchild=1&keywords=mini+4+pin+gpu+to+4+pin+fan+adapter&qid=1588697727&sprefix=4+pins+to+mini+4+pins+fan+adap%2Caps%2C198&sr=8-2

Or if you have a Strix card, it comes with 2 external regular size fan header.

They're different sizes, so adapters like this exist if you're trying to interface the GPU fan header with other fans

Not sure if it's using the standard mini 4 pin on the PCB (you'd have to take the shroud off) but I've been using these to run my DIY hybrid cooled 1080 ti mini with a Kraken G12 and a Thermaltake 120mm aio and two slim 120mm noctuas. the biggest pain is taking apart the shroud, but generally not that difficult.

Does the card have one fan plugin spot or 2? If 1 im guessing this is fine? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T95C68T/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_i_0LyXEbDFE5Y7X

Man, that sounds fucky. XFX had a lifetime warranty and was pretty top of the line for that model. You probably should invest in a 4 pin to mini 4 pin adapter to control those temps. Mobo fans will just move in correlation to cpu temps. The GPU is generally the hottest component. A decent fix if it's not super temporary 🤷‍♂️

Anyway, I honestly just had a cheapo powercolor card.

mind if I ask what adapter you used in order to connect the Noctuas to the GPU PCB?

https://www.amazon.com/CRJ-Splitter-Adapter-Sleeved-Graphics/dp/B07T95C68T

I ordered these but after looking around but not entirely sure

1080ti is a hot card. You should shoot for a 140 or even 280mm aio kit. Those would keep things nice and cool.

Most cards have fan headers that are usually rated for 1A (plenty for 3 or 4 fans). You just need an adapter like this to run the rad fans on it. If you do this, you can control the fans in afterburner just like the stock cooler.

The water pump can be plugged into any mobo fan header that supports a water pump. You will likely need to designate that header as a water pump in your bios. This will just make it run at 100% all the time which is what you want.

If you want the rest of your fans to behave identically, then they can be run on splitters from one header. Just make sure that 1) the header can supply sufficient current and 2) your fans are either all 3 pin or all 4 pin. Mixing these in a splitter won't work.

Reverting back to the stock cooler is just as easy as installing the g12, if not easier. You'd probably just want fresh thermal paste. Also take note of any thermal pads. Make sure they're still in good condition if you reinstall the stock cooler.

Just into the motherboard currently. But have this on the way and will be able to plug directly in. CRJ 4-Pin PWM GPU Dual Fan Splitter Adapter Cable All Black Sleeved for Graphics Cards https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T95C68T/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_5iSDFbB81QRGQ

This bad boy right here plugged right into the lil header. I heard some cards have different proprietary stuff, but they sell adapters for them too.

Most AIO's sacrifice noise for performance: most of them have relatively poor fans that do max 2000-2500rpm. The best way to use an AIO is to get high static pressure, lower RPM fans. It'll get expensive fast: Noctua a12x25 at 1200 rpm or EK vardar at 1200 rpm are the best choices.

The Ncase also allows for great air coolers. The biggest is probably the massive Noctua NH-C14. With your processor, a Nh-L12 would probably suffice. It'll cost you 1/3rd of the AIO route.

And yes, you could either use the stock GPU cooler with 2x slim fans underneath, or go the full hog and use an accelero / morpheus (2?). With the latter you can use the same fans I mentioned earlier. It'll add some cost, though :) - the middle option is where you put custom fans on the GPU. It's easy to do with the right adapter. And since you can choose the fans, you can make it as quiet as you want.

Of course!

Use a GPU fan splitter.

This is what I was talking about. My graphics card only has one header for the fans, I don't know what that connector is called though. Maybe mini fan header? Lol.

But yeah, with that splitter I could plug both fans in and retain all the functionality of the oem setup.

Cheapo haha. Lmk if u have any questions.

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.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07T95C68T/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 thats the one.

I got my Amp Holo in on Saturday with the intention of putting it in an Ncase. The deshroud process is pretty easy. There's only like 6 screws under the fans that need to come out for it to come off. The only tricky part is the RGB cable since its hiding under the heat sink. I ended up just removing the heat sink temporarily to unplug it, but you may be able to get at it with some long skinny tweezers or by removing the back plate. Album.

I zip-tied two 120mm fans to the heat sink and plugged them into the card with an adapter. There's actually two fan ports, so you plug each fan in individually if you prefer.

Temps are acceptable after an undervolt. I'm peaking in the mid 70s on the few things I've tried. But that's with a v5 ncase so ymmv.

Ah not sure if that uses the Nvidia Reference PCB or if they have their own custom PCB. Some of the custom PCBs have fans headers on them, so that’s the easiest way to connect aftermarket fans like Noctuas when using aftermarket coolers like the Morpheus. If it’s the Nvidia Reference PCB spec, you will need two parts:

1) Arctic NV14 pin connector: https://www.arctic.ac/us_en/nv-14-pin-adapter.html 2) GPU to PWM fan adapter / Splitter: https://www.amazon.com/CRJ-Splitter-Adapter-Sleeved-Graphics/dp/B07T95C68T/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=gpu+fan+adapter&qid=1586538485&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExUElBTzJGV1VUQjgyJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNzA4ODUyMTM3ODNZQjQ2VlNENiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMjMzNTMwWThBU0VYSkFWSDlEJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfcGhvbmVfc2VhcmNoX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=

But if you have regular fan headers on your cards PCB you can skip the first product above. You will still need #2.

Also personally I only use it on my 2080s because I have the EVGA Black and it gets a bit loud at full tilt. I had the Morpheus from my 1080ti so it was easy to reuse. If you card is cool and quiet under load, then there is no need for the Morpheus.

thanks for the info, is something like this: https://www.amazon.com/CRJ-Splitter-Adapter-Sleeved-Graphics/dp/B07T95C68T

necessary for the strix pcb? Also would you know if removing the fan shroud can be done without remove the heatsink from the card at all?

This and this.

Referring to something like this?

I guess I'm not seeing on the card where it would plug into. Guess when it gets delivered I can take a better look.

i have a 1080ti founders edition that i bought used this year. very loud. i fixed the loudness with buying a third-party cooler and 2x 120mm fans for about $120. https://www.raijintek.com/en/products_detail.php?ProductID=46.

i don't think you should spend that money. here's an alternative.

buy 2x 120mm fans (you can get for cheap). get rid of your card's stock fans and plug in the new 2x 120mm fans with this connector: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07T95C68T/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 .

i think the new 120mm fans will do the trick.

I hated how loud the stock fans on my GPU are, so I decided to mod it by removing the shroud, reapplying thermal paste, and tying two Noctua NF-A9x14’s to the heatsink using this fan splitter.

I couldn’t be happier with the results! Temperatures are down by an average of 6 degrees—which isn’t much, but the sound is what is so much better and the main reason why I decided to do this little project.

The mod itself wasn’t too difficult, but it was the first time I’ve ever removed the shroud from a GPU—which voids your warranty. That being said, it wasn’t too difficult of a job for anyone with some experience buildin g PC’s!

Here is an album of more pictures.

Also, it is nearly 100% Notcua-brown because the PSU using its stock fan, though I do not plan on touching that one!

Here's a link to a discussion on the topic

Basically, all the plastic bits and fans that are already on your card, you take off/unplug, leaving only the heat sink.

I couldn't find any good videos on youtube about it, unfortunately. The only videos I could find involved removing the entire cooler first, which would involve reapplying your thermal paste, or were just discussing the temperature benefits and had no video of the actual process.

If you can't find a "teardown" video of your specific card, you'll just have to take a look at it and see what's holding the plastic shroud on. On this gigabyte card, there are screws holding it on. There are also several screws on this ASUS card.

There's usually a way to just take the plastic shroud off without removing the whole heatsink, but removing and reapplying the heatsink isn't such a big deal either if you've got some thermal paste lying around. In fact, removing the heatsink and reapplying the thermal paste is recommended maintenance after a few years and putting on higher-quality thermal paste can get you much better performance.

Lastly, if you want to use the headers on your GPU to power your case fans, you can. But you will need a 4 pin to mini adapter. But afaik, this isn't necessary unless you want to use GPU fan controlling software.

TL:DR Unplug everything plugged into the card. Pull the plastic bit away from the fins. If it's stuck, look for screws.

Yes, that’s probably possible. Linus made a guide about that https://youtu.be/-yQHAMz1v5g

Found a link of an adapter CRJ 4-Pin PWM GPU Dual Fan Splitter Adapter Cable All Black Sleeved for Graphics Cards https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T95C68T/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fab_vGHBFb5F284MT

This card

​

I use corectrl in linux to control the fans but I bought a gpu fan connector adapter in order to use the GPU temperature as a reference for the fan speed.

Don't have a ftw3 but do have a 3080 xc3 in a NR200. I would recommend against it actually.

• The heatsink has these small frame things that come out so you can't put the fan really close without having to dremel them off https://i.imgur.com/fXnoV8e.jpeg
• The fans have a different connector than regular 4 pin fans or a 4 pin to VGA adapter https://i.imgur.com/bBonba6.jpeg I've tried looking for an adapter or sorts but no luck (maybe someone reading this knows...?) so you'd have to plug the fans under into the motherboard / psu

Despite getting my AF12x25 as close as possible to the deshrouded heatsink without destroying my fans blades due to those little clips, temps aren't any better. The XC3 I guess is just too small of a heatsink as I have to ramp up the stock fans un-deshrouded to like 70% to keep it under 80c playing games like cyberpunk, and it's very loud

** none of pictures I used are mine, they're from here

For the fan splitter, you're probably aiming for something like this: https://www.amazon.com/CRJ-Splitter-Adapter-Sleeved-Graphics/dp/B07T95C68T

For some of the RTX series, they use a different connector that comes with the Accelero III, if you're buying it new. Search for 'NV-14-pin Adapter' on the arctic.ac website. I do not know which connector they plan on using for the 3000 series, I'm sure it has to do with choices from the manufacturer also.

If you're planning on upgrading soon to the Nvidia 3000 series and still plan on selling the 1080TI that you have, I wouldn't bother with gluing the heat sinks to the card. It'll make it a pain to transfer it over to a new card. You're better off using thermal adhesive tape.
