3-pin socket is compatible with 4-pin plug but Fan PWM control will not be available.
Ensure your motherboard's fan header can supply enough power for multiple fans. Connect no more thatn 3 fans to a 1A header, 6 fans to a 2A header, and 9 fans to a 3A header. Check your motherboard specifications for details.
The speed of P12 Pro PST can be adjusted using PWM signal from the motherboard. Please follow this procedure to adjust the settings on your motherboard.
PWM Frequency: Target frequency 25 kHz, acceptable operational range 21 kHz to 28 kHz
Maximum voltage for logic low: VIL = 0.8 V
Absolute maximum current sourced: Imax = 5 mA (short circuit current)
Absolute maximum voltage level: Vmax = 5.25 V (open circuit voltage)
