Can you use a splitter on PWM fans?
Gelid’s 1-to-4 PWM Fan Splitter allows the user to connect up to four PWM fans from just one PWM fan header on the motherboard. The extra power required to run four fans from this splitter is provided by the 4-pin molex connector, which does need to be connected if more than one fan is used.
Can you control fan speed with a splitter?
Yes, because the motherboard controls the speed by varying the voltage and the splitter just connects the fans in parallel, with no intelligence in between. All the fans will have the same speed the would have on their own at that voltage.
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.
Where do I plug PWM fan cable?
The PWM connector at the end of the fan cable is plugged onto the PWM headers located directly to the motherboard. The PWM connector will have 4 pins in the header. DO NOT connect your fan directly to the PSU.
Can I use a 4 pin splitter for 3 pin fans?
Yes! PWM fans come with a 4-pin connectors for fully automatic speed control via your mainboard’s 4-pin PWM fan headers. When connected to 3-pin fan headers, the fan will run at full speed (unless the mainboard supports voltage based speed control).
Can you split 4 pin fans?
Illustrious. Yes, you can purchase a splitter cable and power two fans from a single motherboard header.
Can you plug a fan splitter into a fan splitter?
If you are referring to a two-way splitter plugged into another two-way splitter, then yes, it is possible. It just depends on the wattage of your headers and your fans.
Can you plug a 3 pin fan into a 4 pin socket?
1 Answer. Apparently a 3-pin fan can plug directly into a 4-pin socket. Two of the pins provide power to the fan, the 3rd provides an RPM pulse to the motherboard to read the speed. The 4th pin is for PWM speed control.
