Should I get a fan controller or powered fan splitter?

Bot212 · February 24, 2021

I've been looking into getting case fans for my pc and was wondering if I should get a powered fan splitter for multiple standard fans (https://www.amazon.com/DeepCool-Control-Supports-Cooling-FH-04/dp/B07LGWHHXV/ref=psdc_11036291_t2_B07N3HP8S5). Or a fan pack with a remote fan controller included (Like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088GQZ8F5/?coliid=I2QJTOUTCHOF8R&colid=3FYFS4NWSTBST&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it) .

Just get a motherboard that comes with wifi?

And just use the stock Ryzen cooler, and put the saved money into a better PSU, like 650W potentially, with good reviews naturally.

The first one is just a splitter, a proper DC fan controller seems more rare now. As depending on your motherboard a lot of them have DC fan control built in.

Or every fan is 4 pin anyways. Can also just buy a simple Y fan splitter for more builds.

Better off with better fans IMO rather than RGB fans, and that case only needs like 2 fans up top as there's no airflow in the front, rest should be fine exhausting itself, so any motherboard should have the fan headers you need.
