question about commander fp

[Ramorade]

Hello.

I was thinking of getting a pwm fan hub for my fans. I know ASUS boards usually come with Fan Xpert, but will it work with a fan hub, since I'm not connecting individual fans to my board?

I have a fan hub, and it connects to a single PWM fan header on the motherboard for speed control, and to SATA cable for power. This way I control all 5 of my case fans using a single PWM curve in the Bios. (Asus ROG board)

Does it work with software control though?

I haven't tried. Do you need to have a soft control over case fans?

would make it easier. thanks for the answer though.

I use this,

 

 

and control the speed via MSI Command Center utility (my motherboard is MSI), it allows me to control them from Windows without entering BIOS.

 

Just make sure the red header is mandatory to be connected to a fan, if you connect the fans on the other headers wile leaving the red header empty, you won't see (it won't show) any RPM reading but you still can adjust the speed. HWInfo shows them as Pump_Fan on my MSI motherboard while actually I connected it to System_Fan header.
