Hello,

I found this cable, it came with one of the components.

It seems to be a Ventilator PMW Power Cable Splitter.

It has a 4 pin connector which probably goes onto the motherboard for power/chasis fan header and then it splits into three components:

Probably 1 PMW ventilator 4 pin connector, probably functioning as an extension cord ?

Plus two more 3 pin connector, maybe to connect any additional 3-pin fans ? Or maybe those two remaining connectors should not be used if a PMW is already one it ?!?

Here is a video of this presumeable PMW cable splitter or PMW extension cord:

Is it indeed ment to extend ventilator PMW power cables ? I think so, but not entirely sure... :)

This would solve the top front ventilator problem, I was considering connecting it to CPU FAN 2 Header, but it's probably better/safer to connect it to chasis fan header at the bottom of motherboard.

It can be routed under/through the shroud which has "invisible' holes at the top of the shroud, these holes provide some access to the back of the pc case near the power supply cables.

Bye for now,

Skybuck.
