Fan controller: 4 piece fan controller hub

Motherboard: B450 tomahawk max atx

 

I was wondering if the motherboard fan headers could dupply enough power through one port to power 4 non rgb fans bitfenix 120mm fans?

Or

Will i need something else to make this work?

 

thank you

the tomahawk already has 4 pin pwm headers, no need for a controller or  a splitter/ fan hub.

I was going to fill all the spaces in my case so that would be 8 fans needed.

well usually a single fan header can handle a total of 1A,  so check how many fans you can plug in one header.

or you could just get a splitter and plug 2 fans to one header, and that should be under 1A and should work just fine.

any pwm splitter will work just fine and they go for cheap usually.
