3 Pin Fan Hub

[Spartan26]

I Just received the Chaser A41 from Thermaltake and noticed that my mother board only has 2 "fan inputs". One is specifically for the CPU and one was for the exhaust. My mobo is the Gigabyte 2AC8 if you need to know. I'm looking for a fan hub, not a controller, that would let me use all three fans + CPU fan. I do not need anything fancy just something reliable and gets the job done. Thank you

You can always buy a cheap fan splitter. Do you plan to control the fans?

No, not really. If I could adjust them to the typical 3 voltages that would be cool but not needed

What is the power source of that splitter? like, what type of cable would go into the (not the fan inputs) actuall splitter

non-powered splitters take energy from the 3 pin header on the motherboard. Depending on the fans you have, you might run into problems; usually regular PC fans are not demanding and this splitters are safe ( I wouldn't plug it to Noctua PPC Industrial fans).

Oh ok I got you. One last thing, which one do I plug into the CPU (assuming it's the 90 degree one) and do you think it comes with the extra cord needed for that?

The fan in the CPU heatsink goes straight into the motherboard (CPU_FAN), it's PWM (4 pin) and will adjust the speed according to temperatures automatically. The splitter has an angled connector and comes with a extension cable, the angled connector goes to the second header in the motherboard, usually called "CHA_FAN" (chassis fan). Then you got the 3 headers in the PCB to enjoy; you can put it anywhere on the case, it's very small and comes with Velcro, to stick it anywhere.

I got the fan hub and there was no cable that allowed me to plug it into the mobo... I thought you said it came with one????

It includes a 3 pin to 3 pin (both female) cable, I bought 2 of them and they included it

Did you buy the extra cable at the bottom of the website? I think I will contact customer support if no

Can't remember, it was 2 years ago

Next makes a hub. So does sunbeam I believe. Depending how many fans you could just use a splitter cable as well

Yep any of those are pretty good too.

Just check what's included. It will say on the product page.

Is it possible you could dig up the receipts or something? I feel like that's asking a lot though

I'm really messy! I think it's going to be easier for me to manufacture a couple of those cables and walk to your place ,which probably would take years haha.

I think you should e-mail/contact them, if they say the current deal is without the cable (which makes little sense, it's useless without it), then you probably have to pick it up It's a fairly common cable that you can get even on a local store, hell! you can DIY one with old fans and electrical tape

yea you probably need a male to male cable.
