Phanteks Evolv TG Fan Hub

So I just got this case and connected the fan hub with the asus z270e motherboard, a 4 pin PWM to the chasis fan controller (4 pin PWM). Yet when I set the fans to turn off if cpu is under a certain temperature, it doesn't do that. It is also not controllable in the AI suite 3, only in the bios. So am I doing something wrong or is that just how it is?

Are you fans PWM?

They are all originals from phanteks that are already plugged in so I would assume so.

Check if they are 3 pin or 4 pin.

I get notified if you quote. And 3 pin fans have no PWM control. You cant control them via software at all. If u want to slow them down you buy voltage adapters with force it to run on a lower voltage thus slower but that is perment.

So I just didn't do enough research and got stuck with that stupid hub, well that's annoying...

Well all you need is new fans which have 4 pin pwn control.

Well the hub is useless since it only accepts 3 pins :(

Thanks for the help!

You can still control them. But 3pins aren't as smooth as PWMs would be. First you need to tell mobo that you are using 3pins. Then you can go between 30% and 100%. Maybe 0rpm too, but it will have quite a bump since min spinning speed is 30% of rpm.

I messed around a bit before and I think they are at 30% now since it is quieter. I am still planning to get new fans, if I get 4 pin fans and use a 4 pin to 4 pin fan hub, would the motherboard view the entire fan hub as a 4 pin fan?

Yes. Hub only provides info from single fan, usually marked header. While not required, its better if you get same fan for all hubs headers you are planning to use.
