What are those colorful things in the box?

I couldn't find a supplier who had the 2-pin to 3-pin adapter for the Noctua 60mm fan in stock, so I bought those solder seal wire connectors to use with a heat gun. 🤞
TIL those exist. I assume they use a low melting point solder, that melts at about the same temperature that the tube shrinks. Seems a lot more convenient than the usual - soldering, finding out that you forgot to put the heat shrink tube on first, desoldering, putting on the tube, soldering, tube shrank prematurely since the heat traveled along the cable, redoing again, finding out that the solder blob is too large to slide the tube over, removing some solder from it, sliding the tube over, heating, and done....
Hahaha the pain is real 😂
It didn’t take too many times before I would have a tiny panic moment over whether I had put the heat shrink in before starting or not.
Yeah, I've never used them before, but there are lots of positive reviews on Amazon. So... 🤞
Will report back and post pics after finishing the project.
