Question 1

What connector does this use to connect to the motherboard?

Accepted Answer

This module is intended to connect up to 4 fans directly. No motherboard control. You cycle through the speed and color options on the LCD panel. You need an available 5.25" bay on the front of your case to operate this. You can use a molex or 4-pin connector for the fans and it uses a molex connector to power itself

Question 2

this looks great, but wondering if the fan connectors are 3 pin or 4pin?  (small 4 pin)

Accepted Answer

Main connector is 4 pin molex with small 3 pin pigtails branching off of the molex.Also the small fan connect are just power and ground(no sensor).I just clipped off the molex's and soldered the small fan connect in place of them.Kind of a pain but I am happy with the contoller though.

Question 3

Does this fan controller automatically adjust depending on temps?

Accepted Answer

No, it's manual. If you know you're going to be doing some intensive tasks, you have to turn the fans up on your own, or turn them down/off if you want your PC to be quieter. That said, most motherboards can automatically adjust the speed of the CPU fan, which is all that's really necessary to have adjust automatically.

Question 4

Would it be possible run two fans on a splitter in one channel with this controller?

Accepted Answer

I imagine it would the 4 cords just control the amount of power going to the fans pluged into them. So if you have two pluged into one, when you adjust it it will do both. You just won't have any individual controll.
