Can I use a fan splitter on CPU fan header?
I personally would never use a splitter on the CPU fan header even just for the simple fact that the speed is controlled by the CPU temp, so every time your processor cranks up those case fans are gonna crank up max and be loud.
Can I use a splitter on a fan hub?
short answer, yes. which fans, which splitters, which hubs? Aquaero 6 fan headers are rated 30w per channel, which is much higher, like 2-3 times what motherboard fan headers, even more when compared to most other controllers and hubs that have a total rating of 1-2amp / 12-24w rating of all headers combined.
Do I need a fan header splitter?
Determining the Number of Fan Headers Your Motherboard Has The motherboard above only has two System Fan Headers. Therefore, if you have more than 2 case fans that you need to install, then you will certainly need a splitter.
Do CPU fan splitters reduce speed?
No, they will all run the same speed.
Can you use fan splitter AIO?
So you can create using Splitters two groups according to fan type (3-pin or 4-pin), and use both the AIO_PUMP header and the CHA_FAN header for all those case fans. Then you can configure each header to the best control MODE for each type of fan.
Should I use a fan splitter or fan hub?
It depends on the amount of fans you plan to connect to your MoBo. If your MoBo has 1-2 4-pin fan headers and you plan to connect 2-4 fans to it, then use Y-splitter by connecting 2 fans to one MoBo fan header. But if you have 6+ fans, use PWM fan hub.
What is PWM hub?
The Phanteks PWM Fan Hub is capable of powering up to *11x fans (3-pin) through PWM modulation, while occupying only 1x 4-pin header of your motherboard per Fan Hub. The PWM hub comes with pre-drilled mounting holes for easy installation to your Enthoo cases and also Velcro strips for use with other chassis.
Does motherboard come with a fan splitter?
Your MoBo doesn’t come with any fan splitters included.
Can you connect two fans one header?
Yes, you can daisy-chain all those fans together to run off one header’s signal and power, BUT the actual limit to the number of fans you can use depends on how much amperage the motherboard can provide through the header. You DO NOT want to exceed this value or you can damage your components.
What does a fan splitter cable do?
You haven’t told us if you are using 3 pin or 4 pin fans. A fan splitter uses one of the pin 3 (tach) signals to send the motherboard fan speed. It can control fan speed on the PWM pin 4. A fan splitter will split pins 1,2 and 4 to every fan, and pin 3 from the first fan.
Is a fan hub worth it?
Yes, a HUB will work because it gets power for all its fans via a connection directly to a PSU power output, and that source can supply much more current that a mobo fan header can. The Hub actually makes NO power connection between the mobo header and its fans, so it puts no load on the mobo header.
What is a PWM case fan splitter?

Strong and durable black sleeved cable, tough and heavy duty. Compatible with 3 pin Case Fan and 4 pin PWM Case Fan. New (4) from $7.99 FREE Shipping on orders over $25.00 shipped by Amazon.
How long is the Y-cable on a case fan splitter?
Case fan splitter Y-cable is 5.5 inch long in total. Comes as 2-Pack. Strong and durable black sleeved cable, tough and heavy duty. Compatible with 3 pin Case Fan and 4 pin PWM Case Fan.
Why do I need a fan splitter for my fan connectors?
This is because 4-pin fan connectors allow for monitoring/adjusting RPMs, and if you had two fans reporting information through the same port you’d run into issues. This splitter will still allow you to adjust RPMs for both fans, just not individually. They’ll both run at the same speed.
How many cables do I need for a fan splitter?
These (two) cable splitters for chassis fans have a 4-pin connector that goes to your motherboard and the other end has two 3-pin cables to go to the fans. The cable is fairly short, but by rerouting some cables I had no trouble installing it.
