I’m not 100% certain, But I believe this looks like a 4-pin PWM fan connector with a guide or blocker on the 3rd pin. The plastic guide is a design feature that helps align the connector properly to prevent incorrect insertion.
Here’s a breakdown:
• 4-pin design: Typically used for PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) fans, which allow the motherboard or controller to adjust fan speeds.
• Plastic on the 3rd pin: This serves as a key or restriction to ensure it only connects to compatible headers, preventing misalignment.
Where to connect it:
1. Look for a 4-pin fan header on your motherboard.
• Common labels: CPU_FAN, CHA_FAN, or SYS_FAN.
2. It will also work on a 3-pin fan header (backward compatible), but PWM functionality will be limited to DC control.

Depending on whether the system has a GPU or if you need more than you have installed.
Don’t you just love getting thrown someone else project.

The pc is for my niece for Christmas
Someone must have been good. That’s a fantastic Gift. It’s great for completing tasks at work or school, as well as for relaxing and entertainment.

It turns on and everything good but now my ssd isn’t showing up
I tried taking it out and putting it back in but it didn’t do anything
I’m unsure of how to add flair to a post on mobile
I might have missed a plug but I’m not sure what it would look like if it had one

This is a floppy drive cable. It’s like molex but smaller

You will need it if your gpu (graphics card) has auxiliary power. What I’d recommend for a video is “how to build a pc, the last guide you’ll ever need (2024 update)”. It has timestamps for the corresponding parts of building a computer.

I plugged it in I’m just having trouble with my ssd now
😭
It’s not showing up on my bios
weak aurora
What trouble? What kind of ssd is it
vivid oracle
Let me get the link
It’s in place and no pins are showing but it’s not showing up
weak aurora
What motherboard do you have
vivid oracle
weak aurora
Btw sata m.2 drives suck for price to performance
vivid oracle
It’s a budget pc and I asked this server about the parts list before and everyone said it looked fine but I can’t get another now
So it’ll have to do

What slot did you put it in? The top slot does not support sata m.2’s
weak aurora
Where’s the slot it needs to be in
Bottom right
weak aurora
Nope. M.2 drives have data and power through the board
You just need to screw it down with the standoff and mounting screw
vivid oracle
Okay awesome
weak aurora
Yup
The good news with this is you can add a faster nvme m.2 drive to the top slot in the future if more storage is required
vivid oracle
Let me see if it works
Yay!! It does
Amazing service 10/10 blown away down the stairs fast response #rizz thank you
It’s giving me this error when I try to install windows
And I know I have all the files because I downloaded it and followed all instructions from the windows stuff
What ssd should I get to fill the first slot?
vivid oracle
Btw sata m.2 drives suck for price to performance
What should I get that’s better
weak aurora
It’s giving me this error when I try to install windows
Best I can say is retry the usb creation
weak aurora
i got a better ssd ordered
What ssd
vivid oracle
yeah i should be able to figure everything out now lol
