Question 1

Will i be able to control 4 fans simultaneously?

Accepted Answer

Not Independently But you can control up to 8 with one setting for them all since it comes with 8-4pin PWN ports 1 Sata power to supply all fans plugged in, and 1 6-8'' 4 pin header to plug into your motherboard to set the desired speeds for all fans connected to it

I will advice if you use splitters (as in to try to hook up more than 1 fan to each port and populate most of the ports in the process) it does tend to get REALLY hot so be aware if u do that to put it somewhere ventilated it melted some of the platic since I had it behind the case where you do the cable management.

That aside really neat item for a good price :)

Hope it helps

Question 2

is the backing with adhesive?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's velcro with adhesive backings.

Question 3

If I were to plug this into, for example, like the 4-pin CPU_OPT header in my ASUS mobo (specifically a Z270E Gaming), would I be able to control the fans in the ASUS fan software?  Would all of the fans just show up as one "fan" plugged into the CPU_OPT header?  Would they all just run at the same speed or would I be able to control them individually?

Accepted Answer

They show up as a single fan.

Question 4

Hello, I want to use a stand-alone fan controller such as the Evercool Twister Fan Speed Controller  instead of a PWM setter on my board; is this cool? Also I plan on buying non-pwm fans such as the Artic F-12, will the speed still be regulated? Thanks!

Accepted Answer

PWM fans will work in a 3 pin just fine with speed control, but non pwm fans will not work with a pwm input, they will run at full speed all the time with no control.

The question would be if you are using this on a 3 pin capable source.
Is your speed controller a pwm controller or a voltage regulating 3 pin?

If so it will work for both pwm and non pwm.

If you are using a pwm only source then this will carry the signal to pwm only.

My suggestion is if you plug a 3 pin fan into your controller and it works then it will work for everything.

Question 5

I have this PWM fan hub connected to an ASUS B450-I motherboard with 3 BeQuiet PWM fans attached. But for some reason my system does not recognize any of the fans and the hub runs the fans at full speed (even though they are 4-Pin). Am I doing something wrong here...just doesn't seem to work how it was promised?

Accepted Answer

you have to make sure one of your fans is plugged in to connector on the hub. It should be marked what one it is, i dont remeber off the top of my head. The only directly controls one of the fans and the rest are slaved off of it, so if you dont have a fan in the correct port your pwm is not going to work.

Question 6

Specifications for this product state...

"* Only header on glossy side supports speed detection."

...Could anyone elaborate on what that means exactly? I see the that Hub has the SATA cable for power, the 4 pin plug to allow for speed detection from the motherboard. But the above quote leaves me a little confused.

Accepted Answer

Its meaning only the glossy port will allow fan speed control. The rest will run at full speed. For example, I have my fans that are on my Radiator in the non glossy slots and they run at full speed, while the glossy one is one of my front fans that I have tuned to about 25%. It's the only fan connected that I can change the speeds to. The other ports basically just sends power to the extras.

Question 7

How do you secure it to the case? Good ole velcro strap? holes in the bottom?

Accepted Answer

It comes with a strip of 2 sided velcro tape. There are no holes at the bottom.

Question 8

I need to connect 6 fans to this in my PC. But my motherboard only has three fan headers, will this be the solution to my issue? I would plan on connecting the fans for my radiator to the motherboard so they can be controlled separately, and then connect the chassis fans to the hub so I can control them all at once, separate from the settings on my radiator. I'm going to use Corsair ML120mm fans so, if that complicates things, let me know. I just want to make sure I it will all work and not get a product that doesn't help me.

Accepted Answer

I love this hub, you can actually connect ALL the fans to the hub and then the hub to the MB and control them all at the same time...it's and awesome set up. My comp runs quiet and efficient. This is the third build using this hub. NOTE: if you can mount it near a fan as well as put a spacer behind it to raise it up it will prolong it's life span. It will run quite warm with a lot of fans. I epoxied a 1/2 inch thick spacer to it and then epoxied that to the case frame on the bottom in front of the front case fan. It looks professional and also serves it's purpose.

Question 9

Will this fan hub allow me to also control the RGB on my pwm fans through Asus Aura Sync?

Accepted Answer

No.

Question 10

Can I plug 3 pan fans into this?

Accepted Answer

Im assuming you mean 3 pin fan and yes you should be able to. All the 4th pin is really used for is controlling your fan speeds through either bios or another program, or manual hardware attache'd to your rig. In still using this produce as well and havent  noticed any issues since using it, it's still going strong. And I have it maxes out with fans. Hope this helps.
