Quick Question

In regards to case fans and fan hubs.

I saw another person make a topic thing about LED fans but I want to ask something a little different. If you plug LED fans that are set to one color into a fan hub, would they still light up? I chose a cheap motherboard and it only has one sys_fan header so I'm thinking of using a fan hub. I want to also put in 5 blue LED case fans + 1 blue fan for the air cooler. The cpu cooler fan would go to the CPU header and the other 5 case fans would go to the hub. I just wanted to know if the fans would still light up. If anyone could answer this then thank you very much for taking the time to read this. :D

It should all be fine so long as enough power can be delivered, but honestly I doubt that fans with only one color led draw that much more power than standard fans. A lot of fan hubs with several connectors will also have and additional power input either a molex or sata connector if the motherboard header is not enough

-> Moved to Air Cooling

If the LEDs use same connection with fans, yes. But do note that if you control the fans with DC, lights will dim. With PWM this is not an issue.
