Using this splitter, will a 3-pin fan work along with a 4-pin fan, or do they both have to be 4-pin fans? Although designed for 4-pin fans, would two 3-pin fans work with this splitter? I'm asking if fans are "mix and match" as far as splitters are concerned. Thank you very much.

Accepted Answer

Looks like person who commented above, used them for that very reason: their MOBO was 4 pin but they had 3 pin case fans.  While you don't have the same speed control as with 4 pin, I don't see why they would not power 3 pin fans.  Good luck.
