Motherboards don't always have enough headers to allow you to connect all the fans that are in modern PC cases, so what can you do?
Fan splitters or hubs are a great way to add more fans and control them from a single motherboard header.
A simple twin port split will allow two fans to be connected to a single fan header on the motherboard. These are a great way to connect AIO or radiator fans and have them in sync with each other as the rpm or pwm signal will be the same on both fans.
A similar option is the four port version of this allowing up to four fans to be controlled from a single header or motherboard output, although be careful with powerful fans as you don't want to overload the motherboard fan header.
The best option for larger numbers of fans is a fan hub such as the arctic 10 port fan hub. this uses the PWM or RPM signal from a motherboard fan header but powers the fan or fans from a SATA style power connector, so make sure you have a SATA power connector spare in you PC.
These are frequently asked questions in the Discord chat and also on the videos we produce so don't be surprised if an expert or moderator from any of our social medias point you in this direction.

This video is great! Thank you! Did my first build last night and realized I only had one fan header after buying a 3 pack of fans 😅
Glad it helped!
What is the solution?
@@astro4167 watch the video
@@juano.9280 done
Same
Thank you so much. My B450 Aorus M only has 2 fan slots and most PC gamers are definitely gonna want more than 2 fans in their build.
Hope it helped :-)
Hey Mike, so i recently bought myself 5 new precious case fans, and even rubber-pins, all the works. Now i discovered that my new mobo is severely understaffed and watched your video in return. I have to say, never seen such a compact, and well explained topic on just the things someone wants when looking up the topic. You did a great job, i left you a follow.👍
That is awesome! And welcome to the Channel :-)
Finally, straight on point clear explanation.
Thank you.
Don'tDoDrugsButCrackIsOk Thanks for the feedback! Please consider sharing the video and information on your social media, it really helps to get the message out there.
You are a life saver,I’m new to building PCs and I was scared because my motherboard didn’t have enough fan connectors so thank you
glad to help
yoooo this is exactly what i needed man. i purchased a prebuilt with 6 fans, 3 of them werent running even though their rgb was running, and this was the fix. i'll be using the arctic solution, thanks.
Glad it helped you! Thanks for watching
So which way did you do, splitter or hub?
Great video! Often times, not-so-experienced system builders compare motherboards' capabilities and their price points, but something like fan headers can be overlooked! And then, you're stuck with a motherboard that meets your needs but has only one case fan header. So this video helps out! Good advice here.
Glad it helped :-)
Great guide.
You explain and show everything clearly.
You get to the point and don't speak for 15 mins in the intro like other pc youtubers.
Glad it helped!
Very timely, Mike. Thanks so much for this. That's even the exact fan hub I bought. Just waiting for my mobo. That's the last part to come in, hopefully this week. This'll be my first build. Can't wait!
Glad I could help! If you need any advise or help feel free to join our discord: discord.gg/gaeeDPw
Your videos are straight to the point and easy to digest. You've helped me considerably, thank you!
thanks taylor appreciate it
What a great idea, Mike! Your Discord Experts and Moderators thank you! :)
And we thank you for all the hard work and effort to help others
While searching this topic for a PC upgrade, all the videos were about fan geometry abd position. You are the one talking about the less obvious thing that is how to manage power and speed control in a perfect format. Thanks !
Cool, thanks! hope you figure out what you need and get good results
When you notice this dude went through, hearted & replied to nearly 600 comments
That's wholesome af 😊
Thank you! We believe the viewer is what makes a Channel, so we try and reply to all comments :-)
ty for the fan adaptor port
akitothegeek Thanks for the feedback! Please consider sharing the video and information on your social media, it really helps to get the message out there.
Thanks - really useful. I've just bought a 3 way splitter on this advice.
Glad it helped
Thank you Mike! A short and practical video. Due to high costs and incompatibility with my MOBO I had to buy a couple 3-pin fan splitters for my TT fans (I was thinking of Arctic F12 PWM but... surprise! it was 4-pin, a shame). It was about 2 years ago. I'm having in mind that HUB and some Arctic P12 PWM PST Value Pack (great CFM).
i need a case that can use 10 fans now to test out the arctic hub :-)
@@mikesunboxing a Cooler master wouldn't be bad idea, I mean.
@@mikesunboxing talius cronos fits a maximum of 10 fans :D 3 top 3 front 3 bottom 1 back
Sound stupid but i didn't realise the hub that came with my new cooler could take more fans. Probably not how you were expecting to help anyone but this was SUPER helpful for me
Thank you for the hub thing. I was so baffled by wanting to have 4pin fans everywhere, but cable splitters were not the right way to go. Bought two hubs as I have a 360mm and a 240 radiators in push/pull and needed a controllable 10 fan config. THANKS!
Glad it helped :-)
Loved the video. Straight to the point and clear explanation. Subscribed from Australia!!
Thanks! And welcome to the Channel!
This was a great to the point video for a newb like me. Thanks!
thanks for watching and hope your learned some things
I have an Eclipse P400 case with an older ASUS board and was easily able to split both CHA_FAN into 3 regular 120mm fans without issue. The CPU has it's own header to itself.
I got a second case for my newer PC which is also a P400 but digital. The fans will be DRGB so they are powered by SATA and daisy chained for colors, but the PWM wiring remains the same setup.
If you're worried you might be overloading or you want your CPU fan to serve more than one fan, i suggest splitting it and connecting it with the REAR exhaust fan so your CPU and rear exhaust both have the same speed as required.
On my motherboard splitting the CPU in 2 allows for about 8 fans without destroying the board. I am weary of connecting 3 fans to CPU_FAN headers because those fans have more chance of running at 100% speed so avoid putting 3 fans on CPU.
Modern boards also have CPU_OPT which gives you 3 more!
good tips there
So I gotta buy that cable thing, got it, thanks 👍🏻
No problem 👍
I'm going to install some fans for better airflow in my system, and only had 3 headers, while I want to install 4 fans. Not to say the headers are placed weirdly. I bought a fan hub, and hopefully this will keep my system neat!
yes all the wiring can be routed to a less cluttered area
Superb video. Helped me a lot.
Glad it helped
Simple and to the point Thanks Mike
Thesan Moodley Thanks for the feedback! Please consider sharing the video and information on your social media, it really helps to get the message out there.
Nice simple video straight to the point, Great video Mike.
Personal preference is a external hub block that has its own power.
yep space permitting that is a good choice
Great video Mike, i was actually looking for something like this. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Those are the fan splitters i recently bought , after having a word with doge. I was looking for a video like this on your channel a couple of days ago and im sure there will be more people like me in the future. Good video Mike.
Glad you like them!
Who is Doge dude ?
great video,really help.that fan hub with sata ,cost so much but we have the same thing like fan splitter but with sata cable instead of pwm.
No problem 👍
Thanks, straight to the solution. I like that
thanks for watching and commenting
Great informational video, thanks Mike.
Thanks Paul have a great day
Amazing! Thanks for this! No nonsense, 3 cool and different solutions to the dilemma.
CHEERS!

Thanks to you 😁 , it helps me a lot to understand what am I gonna do to my my cheap build few fan headers a320m Mobo..
Also I like how you explain it in detailed only in 4 minutes...
Glad I could help
@@mikesunboxing new sub here and your contents are very helpful especially to those pips starting their first PC build.
@@mikesunboxing I have one more question , what does sys_fan means , because I have Mobo gigabyte a320m and it has only 1 sys_fan and a cpu_fan.
Simple and informative, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
This is such a great video, Mike! Thanks once agian for the help. I changed my chassis yesterday and thought everything was gonma be fine only to find out that my previous case fans were powered differently (connects to a molex, hope I got that right lol)
Glad it helped!
Hey I just got this Arctic Hub. Keeps making my PC short and not boot 🤔 Any ideas?
just check the sata connection is in correctly otherwise is must be faulty i would guess?
THANK YOU!!!!! I FINALLY UNDERSTAND FAN SPLITTER AND HUBS!
Glad I could help!
Thank you for making a clear and concise video packed with information.

I saw that DIY perks wired 14 of them in paralel on a single PWM fan header!!
His setup seems to work though!
I'm afraid the same won't be with my b450!
wow! i would get nervous between 3 and 6 fans
Wow thanks a lot sir
Most welcome
Great vid. Keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do!

Thank you! Recently bought a Fractal Node 202 pc with an Asus p8h61-i mobo, and i need to add 2 fans below the gpu slot (previous own didnt have any in there for some unknown reason) but was confused because my mobo only has 1 case fan slot.
Thanks again!
glad to help
This is exactly the information I needed, cheers mate
Glad to help
I use a powered fan hub for my fans
good choice
You sir have earned my sub. Great video
Awesome, thank you! And welcome to the Channel!
I am new to your channel. i like your videos they are very well explained as compared to other channels. Hope you will get tons of following soon!
Welcome aboard! and thanks for the comment, it is very kind of you
Excellent. I just bought one. My motherboard has PWM supposedly at all fan headers, but I'm still concerned about power load on the mobo and also I like how you can program all of these fans, whereas the powerhub included would only be able to program 1 fan.
the fans will all share the PWM signal so really they need to all be the same spec, and don't worry about the current draw that is what the SATA power is for
Oh and a real brill device for those too lazy to go over to the pc to turn it on,, Universal PC Remote Control - Silverstone ES02-USB A few as we Brits would say 'quid' but well worth the money. Easy to fit and you get a couple of extra USB headers. 👍😎
Sounds good
Loved the video.....was actually hoping to see if you could educate us on how to install fans into the motherboard headers....where do I plug an aio cable( cpu header/ cpu optional)....some aio coolers come with multiple cables....which ones do I need to use

lol I wish I watched this when building my 1st PC, I went a week with a small room fan taped to the top of mu PC.
lol hopefully now you know better
So if I connect 3 led to the hub and the hub to PSU do I need to connect the other cables of the fans?
not really necessary to connect them to the hub but will need connecting to something like a controller or motherboard or they won't spin
Hi Mike,
great video! One question, would you go with the "case fan hub" to avoid putting too much strain onto the motherboard? In my case I have 4 fan connections onboard and I need just two 2 more. That's not much, but I just want to take as much weight off the board possible. Thanks alot. Love your channel!
Yes, absolutely that is the way to go
very helpful thanks!😁
Glad it helped!
Very Informative indeed...Thank You!
Glad it was helpful!
thanks for the vid. i was looking for a solution to this problem with my motherboard and wanted a solution but not a sketchy one. the arctic case fan hub is a great solution for the problem as it draws power from the PSU and doesnt strain the motherboard.
Glad I could help
Thank you for yet another awesome video, Mike!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you very much
You are welcome
Best vid ever thanks
thanks
great videos thanks !
You're welcome!
Where do I put that fan hub in my case?
it is up to you really based on the length of the psu cables and fan cables, that will pretty much dictate where it can be mounted
Thank you
You're welcome
No mention of amp restrictions from a single PWM (some mobo can’t support over 0.3amp). This will severely hinder the fan’s function. Additionally, no mention of harmonics conflicts with three to four fans plugged in to one header. If the three fans are stacked and all split to one header, you can get chopping/pulsating sounds from the fans. Using a SATA hub or going no more then 2 fans per pwm will get rid of that issue.
Thanks for the advice :-)
I just bought my very own and first pc just this week and my motherboard only has 3 fan inputs 1 for the cpu and 2 for additional fans. And my moms friend is giving me his old case (my own case only has a single 120mm fan and 3 80mm fan slots so im really greatful for the given pc case. Also this video gave me a lot of insight, now i just need to buy that and i get more slots for more fans. Thanks!

@@mikesunboxing will do! Also a new sub to your channel, you make good content!
@@LukeJukeDuke Awesome, welcome to the Channel :-)
Thanks Mike, You are a genius! Making this clearer, one more question
On a 6 fan hub like artic or deepcool, I could add the 3 way splitter to two of the slots of the hub potentially giving me 10 fans, would that be to much powered Sata draw for the hub to handle?
Yes you can! and it should be okay for the SATA
tell me if im wrong: the motherboard will take all the fans connected on the power supply of artic as if it was one fan right? I mean that if you want to raise the speed of one fan all the fans that are connected there will raise their speed as well right?
yes the box is a repeater so it takes a single signal from the motherboard header and sends that same signal to all the 10 ports regardless of what is plugged in to them
thank you!!!
You're welcome!
And what do i do when i want do add more LED Fans?
this was discussed in the video
will a 2x fan splitter work for any motherboard?
i have a msi a320m pro m2 motherboard.
yes it will
