When using an air cooler, make sure to plug the fan hub into one of the chassis fan headers on the motherboard and not the cpu fan header. This way all of your system fans won't ramp up when your processor is placed under load. The CPU Fan header was used in this video to demonstrate RPM fan speed fluctuation in accordance to the fan curve in the bios and processor temperature.
I am buying an ITX MoBo which has 1 cpu connector (which i will use to connect cpu fan) . 1 case fan connector.... But I want to connect 4 case fans....so can I use this hub to connect in that 1 case fan connector?
So basically, don't plug it into the CPU header if all you want is to be able to control the speed of the Chassis fans however you like while letting the CPU fans be controlled by the CPU temperatures. I thought the SATA power would mean that it is a Fan Hub that would allow the user to install a Fan Hub App/Program to control each connected fan individually, but this would not be the case, it seems.
well you rarely HAVE to create fan curves through the bios, usually your motherboard will have a utility to set it in windows. This controller looks great though, it seems like the only real way to control lots of 3pin fans linked to some kind of system temperature...
At first I thought my Gigabit internet was failing me until I realized this is a 720p video in 2020. LOL Thanks for the demonstration though on this controller hub!
The fan curve associates directly with the fan header via the bios. Since you're running the hub off of a single fan header, there will be only one fan curve for all fans connected to it.
@@SystematicHardware what If I decide to run 24, Yate Loon 40x40x20mm fans each at 0.1A By doing the math I should be able to hook up in paralel *(12 fans per each fan header)* for a total power draw of 1.2 amps per header? What do you think? My server is in a 1U for factor. Clearly I'm not spending 16€ for a tiny 40mm noctua!
Stupid question if you already answered it before in the video or comments; but can I plug in the hub's 4 pin connector wire into the hub's CPU fan header and connect it to a chassis fan header on my motherboard?
Just to clarify there might be a typo in your comment. You shouldn't plug the hub into both the CPU fan header and Chassis fan header, pick one or the other. If using an air cooler - My suggestion is to plug the hub into the chassis fan header so that your chassis fans don't ramp up every time your cpu is placed under load.
Can the cpu aio be plugged into cpu fan header and the hub plugged into another mobo fan header and still be controlled with the bios ? I wanted the hub to ramp up more with gpu temps and let the aio ramp up for cpu. Thx!
That's my plan for my upcoming build. I don't want all chassis fans to ramp up whenever the CPU is placed under full load - Just the cpu fan. To answer your question, yes you can as long as you have an extra chassis fan curve in your motherboard's bios.
Great vid thanks i think i understand a little bit more now... My setup is a have a three in one fan setup in the front of the case all built into a bracket and this nice thing is it has only one power cable for all three and then i have my AIO with three fans but those fans each have their own power cable and then theres my exhaust fan... You said the speeds could be regulated. Is that possible aswell via Mboard software perhaps ?
No software, only through the bios. For each fan header (weather it'd be cpu/chassis) there should be a corresponding fan curve that can be adjusted. Thank you so much!
So, If I good understand: this hub will change a speed of 3 pin connected to it fans via moterboard settings? I mean: my mother board have an option to controll speed of 3pin fans by DC, is that hub can do it aswell???
So - it's basically just a splitter than supports more than 2 fans - it has no temperature sensing in it or anything of that sort. But you can use it to power a bunch of fans just off the one header if your motherboard lacks headers. Is that a fair assessment?
Hi guys, I bought a new Cooler Master c700m and the case it comes with a control fan hub in the back. My question is do I connect all my case 7 fan to the moherboard? Yes, my MOBO ( Asus Prime TRX40-Pro ) has enough headers for all my ( 7 ) fans? Or connet all my fans using the case fan hub?
If you have enough headers there's no need for the hub. The only reason I can see you wanting to use the hub if you wanted to make sure all X number of fans are governed by one fan curve.
Would I be able to plug in my CPU fan into any fan hub like you said you could with this one? Thank you! I initially was going to plug the CPU fan into the CPU fan header and find a separate one for my fan hub (SilverStone Technology CPF04 All Black 1-to-8 PWM Fan Hub)
That's the best way to do it. Use the fan hub for the chassis fans and plug your cpu fan directly into the cpu fan headers on the motherboard. This way whenever the cpu fan goes up in RPM the chassis fans don't. I should have explained that better in the video, but I plugged the hub into the cpu fan header for RPM fan speed demonstration purposes only.
Correct, but you don't want all your chassis fans to ramp up when you cpu is under load. I used the cpu header for demonstration purposes, so ideally you want to use the fan hub connected to a chassis fan header unless you're using it for an AIO.

Are there any hubs that can let you control each or a set of fans separately? For example I have two 140mms in the front and two on top, one back and two cpu. I'd like to control the front separate from the top and back.
That's a good question. Typically I'll use front intake for the hub, then just plug the exhaust fans into the headers on the motherboard for separation of fan control
Wait so what fans do i plug into this hub and my system has and io cooler with a 3080 and i9 10850k 32gb of ram and 9 fans total which 3 of them are connected to my io cooler and the others not
all the fans conected to the hub need to be pwm fans or i can use normal 3 pin fans and change the power of the cpu conector on the mother board to slow the speed of them ?
You can use 3 pin, but if plugged into a PWM configured header, then the 3 pin fans will run at 100%. If you use this on a voltage control configured header, and plugged 3 pin fans into this, then it would allow for speed control. But where you can, use PWM fans, you get more flexibility in speed and performance
nice video.....it's been a while since its posting anyway...My motherboard pwm fan curve is by percentage. will the fans work accordingly? i mean if the curve is set to 50%, will all the fans run at 50% rated power? my fans are: noctua 40mm 1200-5000rpm noctua 60mm 550-3000rpm noctua 120mm 750-3000rpm artic 120mm 600-1800rpm all fans are 12v 4pin PWMs Thanks!
Molex/Sata provides supplemental power to all the fans connected to the fan hub. PWM stands for "Pulse with Modulation" allowing you to govern the RPM speed.
Hey nice video, I'm think going to buy this but I want to be sure: can I use it to control 3 pin fans with that? I have 7 three pin fans and 1 pwmin my build. If it works how you think I should set it up?
You already purchased the fans? If you have that many fans you probably have an ATX motherboard. Plug 3 of them into the fan headers on the motherboard and the other 10 into the fan hub.
Hi SH... sorry to bother again... Is there any PWM controller out there that can be lets say it has 6 ports, all be identified by the system and can be controlled via software ? Wootware is a PC shop here by me and they offered me the Corsair CL-9011110 Commander Pro All-In-One Controller.
ok, so the power connector is sata, that is clear.... just one question: must it be the SATA of the PSU? OR is there an adapter from SATA to the MOLEX of the PSU perhaps?

hello friend.. it is safe to use this fan hub?. i mean 5 fans connected to this hub and the hub wire is connected to one system fan headers only.. i have 5 fans and each fan 0.25A.. it is safe to use to my motherboard.. my motherboard is uppraded hybrid fan.. i think hybrid fan supports 2.0A.. i just want to clarify before i buy this fan hub. pls reply my friend... thanks
To anyone in the future No this hub does not affect this. Because the power is coming from SATA it's the hub that will take the brunt of the Amps and not the Header. The header is only giving the signal needed in this case.
i got two thermalright hubs the cheap ones and its not showing my fan speeds like its connecting but doesnt actually show speed and its pissng me off, im tired of wasting money on this cheap shit that doesnt work right i shoulda jsut got two of the 30 dollar ones since i got 18 fans

When I have multiple fans in the hub, do they all share the same fan curve settings, or are they individually addressable?
The fan curve associates directly with the fan header via the bios. Since you're running the hub off of a single fan header, there will be only one fan curve for all fans connected to it.

No problem - that's if you're using an air cooler. If you're going with an AIO liquid cooler then i'd recommend an actual fan controller over a hub.
Perfect so my cpu header can control all the other fans, if I understand correctly.
Correct, but you don't want all your chassis fans to ramp up when you cpu is under load. I used the cpu header for demonstration purposes, so ideally you want to use the fan hub connected to a chassis fan header unless you're using it for an AIO.

Yes for chassis fans connect the fan hub to the chassis fan header on the motherboard.
Do you plug the CPU_Fan connector into the fan hub then plug the fan hub into the CPU_Fan header?
How high end is the system? Do you have an air cooler or an all in one liquid cooler?

What cable do u need from the psu
will this work with corsair fans, i dont want to spend £60, merely to change the rpm of my fans?
What's the difference, functionality wise and connector wise, between molex and pwm?
Molex/Sata provides supplemental power to all the fans connected to the fan hub. PWM stands for "Pulse with Modulation" allowing you to govern the RPM speed.
Does it still work to this day? No issues?
