Any chance anyone has got a 2pin to 3pin adapter for a pc fan?

 

Doesn't look like anyone stocks them locally but fairly common/cheap on AliExpress. Hoping to get something a bit faster. 

 

From what I can tell the 2pin connector is XH2.54.

So confirm you’re wanting to plug a 3-pin fan onto a 2-pin pin out?

If that is that case, aren’t the spacing the same? Pretty sure they are iirc. Should just slide on in and be missing the fan speed is all.

They look quite different to me, not sure it'll just slide on.

For what it's worth Noctua seems to include one with the NF-A4X10. If anyone is using these fans without the adapter.

If you are adapting a fan onto an appliance with a fan header, check polarity before you plug the fan in as there is no defacto standard for the 2 pins like there is with 3 pin PC fans thanks to intel defining it.
