Daisy chain question

[TurkishBTW]

Hello I have 2 thermaltake blue fans in my pc. They can daisy chain and the daisy chain cables came inside the box. I have a different fan in my pc that came with my case. My question is can I daisy chain all the fans from one header although they’re different fans

What are you connecting the fans to? The motherboard or the PSU?

Depends, most 12V DC only (3 pin) fans aren't that different, same with 12V PWM (4 pin) fans. If you're daisy chaining a 3 pin and 4 pin fan together though, you're not going to have a good time trying to control speed, if it works at all. Been a while since I've tried that, but I remember having issues with some PWM fans not liking DC only control even though that should work just fine, just not as well as PWM.

So, here's the rule of thumb:

Most motherboard headers will run 1A of fans.  You'd have to look at each of the fans to get the power they draw.  If they're 0.2A Fans?  you can easily put 4 on one header for power.

 

That being said:  If they're different fans, PWM / DC Control will be a little different for each fan, and will become awkward.

 

I try to put like fans on each header.
