PWM Hub help

agent2 · February 21, 2020

Hey there,

does anybody know any simple 4-pin PWM hubs that aren't expensive like a Corsair Commander Pro? Just to hook up PWM fans without any nonsense.

Thank you in advance!

Control via Mobo or off GPU, done deal.

Do you want control with mobo or with other software? What mobo, fans and how many fans.

Thanks, but I see in some reviews of this item on Amazon that because it plugs into only one PWM header the mobo only sees it as one and the other fans can't be controlled (e. g. fan curve) separately. Do you know what can be done about that? Or am I wrong?

Just with mobo, maybe with something like Aura or iCue. E. g. ASUS STRIX X570-E and be quiet! Silent Wings 3 (around 7 PWM fans).

Aura is Asus software for RGB only. For fan control same would be Fan Xpert. If you want to use iCUE or NZXT CAM. But as Corsair doesn't have the cheap option anymore, you have Commander Pro and NZXT Grid only for those.

But as your mobo has 3 sysfan headers, 2 AIO headers and 2 CPU headers, I would recommend you get 3-way or Y-splitters. You still lose individual control, but can adjust fans in zones.

Alright thank you for your help!
