I'm new to this computer building and I'm sure that I don't have enough fan slots for the fans in my case from my motherboard. I'm currently trying to find a good fan hub for my motherboard to fit into for my case. If you guys have any recommendations that would be amazing :D It would be even better if its cheap and on amazon ;)

Can't help too much then, but 3pin or 4pin (PWM fans)?

I would get this one. http://www.amazon.com/Swiftech-8W-PWM-SPL-ST-Way-PWM-Splitter-Sata/dp/B00IF6R4C8/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1455990836&sr=8-7&keywords=fan+hub+pc 

Then you don't need the molex cable if your psu is semi or fully modular.

Except that's PWM, so the OP won't be able to control his 3pin fans...

Unless you have a big case with tons of fans. Otherwise you only need some 2-way or 3-way Y-splitter. One motherboard fan header can easily power 2-3 fans. For example, the front case fans(usually 2) are the same type/same rpm. They can be ran from one fan header with a Y-splitter. I have six fans and a water pump in my case, powered by four mobo fan headers.

 

Just make sure to get the right Y-splitter, 3-pin for DC fans, 4-pin for PWM fans.

Can you use a 3 pin fan with a 4 pin splitter?
