I watched the video to learn about fan splitters and hubs, but I ended up learning about ryzen overclock cycling LOL
tells me Ryzen is pants
Me too hahaha... and I just bought a Ryzen 5...
Ryan Daniels
so you are now good educated pc guy :) sir
I saw some nice booty...
Wish I read this a 8mins a go a 2 year old comment would of saved me 8mins
We interrupt this fan hub review for a public pc-mobo-speaker announcement.....
wtf... bro i came here for fan headers not overclocking.
yea, wtfuck?
Posts video about fan headers and splitters. Talks about overclock cycle. Where is the fan splitter test?
pro tip cut out the million year long portion about your bad overclock in a video about fans.
Next time, try keeping it simple.
This video talked way too much about stuff that had nothing to do with Y-Splitter vs. Hub
Can u say my the Result
Diving back under the hood of my pc after a long time, looking up some basic info. Man what a great day seeing a video from you, hope you’re still doing well. Good to see the updates and you’re healthy!!
Yup i was here for fans and finally learned why my system boots 3 times before post. Thank you sir.
You can control rpm with that hub or any hub but all fans will run at the same speed. You can do it through motherboard software or bios. Or if you have a corsair commander pro you can plug the hub into one of the 6 pwm channels of the commander pro and control fan speeds from there. But as I said if you place 10 fans into one hub and the hub into commander pro they will all spin at the same speed like being 1 fan
Thermaltake has the "FP" model of that very same HUB but with fan controlling capabilities. The FP model is like 15$, plugs into the mobo over a 4pin cable, and splits that into 10 new 4 pin inputs. The power is being taken from a Sata connector. Since it is 4 pin, all you need to do then is to go to the bios settings or download some fan controlling programm, and you will be able t adjust the speed of all the fans connected to the hub.
Dude. I found your comment more useful than this video. Cheers mate. :)
that is the FP model, hes plugging in 3 pin fans, he has zero idea what hes even doing lol.
I just got the Thermalright Fan Hub X8, Only so I can install an ARGB heat sink lol, And to tidy up the wires, Where would be the best place to put the Fan Hub, Would it be able to cope if it was on a shelf inside the PC case, Would the heat bother the unit it self, Stupid question but it got to be asked, lol, I got a ARGB controller, But it is tiny with 3 buttons, I got a Cooler master Liquid 240 V2 ARGB fans on it, You ain't got a link for an easy install, No diss to this dude who made this video, I am just more confused than ever after seeing this, Overclock lol, I only want to install a Fan adapter...lol...
thx this overclocking video helped me figure out how to fan header
You reviewed one of the few hubs that do not allow fan control. There are MANY hubs that let you control fan speeds as well as RGB lighting if thats your take. say for instance the silverstone fan controller. it will let you control up to 8 different fans both 3 pin and 4 pin. it also lets you control the speeds of all fans. but at a cost of one fan that controls the speed of all. and also it doesnt control RGB. now if you want to pay a little bit more money then you can go for the corsair commander pro which lets you do the same things as the silverstone with the ability to control each fan speed and also use different RGB setups.
Can I get a link to it?
Didnt know what a PC speaker was. Was wondering what that thing that came in the bag was. Thx for including that.
Damn. I connected my PC fans to this HUB couple of years ago and they are STUCK in the controler. I can´t remove them.
Any ideas? Am I missing something?
If your PC takes several cycles to boot, then your OC is unstable. You're either trying to push your RAM too high, or you need to bump up the voltage. A stable OC should boot after the first try. I have two Ryzen rigs, so I'm not just pulling this out of my a$$.
you are not right , some MOBO'S on AM4 have this problem with multiple boots , especially on older bioses . Especialy gigabyte and asus
I like to think that after moving the ram voltage up to 1.35 from 1.2 on my Asus crosshair hero xi mobo it stopped trying boot 4 times and goes every post up to 3200mhz from the OG 2133mhz. Yes all I did was enter 12 15 15 27 and change 1.2 to 1.35 on the AMD equivalent to XMP. It really takes that extra electricity to get what the ram is rated for. The arguably cool thing about this is the cas latency. In some cases that DDR3 L 1600/2133 can be faster than the DDR4. MacBooks do a great job of taking advantage of that... The higher you click your ram the longer the latency say 1600 cl9 vs 3200 cl16. I may be wrong but when it comes to actual data test and gaming it’s why they say 2133mhz is the sweet spot or most necessary for gaming.
Agree, I have a Ryzen build, stock memory 2666mhz and overclocked to 3200mhz stable with no issues.
thanks. It was hard to find out whay the third pin was missing.
Phanteks fan hub controller will control fan speeds for 3 pin fans using just one 4 pin header on the motherboard.
Hi can you do a video explaining how to hook up RGB fans to a fan controller and using software to change the colours please and thank you
Just what I was looking for and the pc speaker is nice idea. Iv not heard a pc do that for some time and I kind of miss it now after hearing your pc boot.
Thanks lot of useful little insights. I didn't know you could add a speaker. I love bootup sounds! Is that true of any motherboard?
Nice vid but how many fans can you connect to the motherboard including the cpu cooler.
I know this is over a year old, however, they do make fan hubs that adjust the speed of the hubbed fans to the cpu fan.
This was exactly what I needed! I have 6 fans and 5 headers....I might actually add a second fan to my CPU as well for Push/Pull.
what motherboard do you have
"Super quick video" almost 9 minutes ಠ_ಠ
Question. I'm using an older MSI B450 Gaming Plus Motherboard with Corsair LL120 fans, except I've run out of headers for the 3rd Corsair fan. The problem I've run into is I have a Cooler Master heatsink, and no way to attach the 3rd Corsair fan. I can connect the leds'/get them ON connected to the fan controller, but obviously no spinning blades because no power. My ideal scenario would be to just replace the Thermaltake fan with the 3rd Corsair fan, but I have no idea how to attach it to the heatsink. Power would not be an issue then, problem solved. The second scenario would be to leave the Thermaltake fan attached to the heatsink, leave the 3rd Corsair fan in the lower right corner of the case, with the leds on, it still looks nice. I have thought about using a Y Splitter on either SysFan 1 or SysFan 2 and getting power to 2 Corsair fans that way, but I have been wary since I don't want to draw too much power from those fan ports and it being a somewhat older; lower tiered board. Thank you. All of the fan headers on the mainboard are 4 pin connectors. Sys 1, Sys 2, CPU Fan. Would using a molex to directly connect the 3rd Corsair fan directly to the PSU work? Of course, if someone could point me to a bracket or something to fasten the Corsair fan to the heatsink, that would be great too. The Thermaltake fan attaches to the heatsink with L-shaped plastic over the top and the bottom. You can literally just pull the fan on/off like that. I'm not sure what I would need or what exists.czcams.com/video/KZ0CwwxcTvY/video.html
That concrete on the glass table sent shivers down my spine. Very useful video tho
I do own a H61H2-M2 which doesn't show up anything related to voltage or amperage through her only 3pin Case fan connector, so what could I do in my situation ? The M/B is from 2011 and would like to add another 3pin fan to the case since the backside fan is already using this connector. Would appreciate a lot your help.
I have a ryzen 5 2600 I really would appreciate it if you would do a full overclocking video for Ryzen
Damn, I was like "yeah my motherboard has way too little fan headers on it too dude" then I saw those stupid signature red traces and realized that he has the same motherboard as me. Who at Asus thought that only 2 case fan headers would be acceptable on a board that advertises to gamers who might want to do things with their pc that will probably create lots of heat?????
So if you split a header with a Y calbe, you can still control both fans?
My system speaker is the oldest piece of hardware I still own. I have had my speaker since my Socket A 950Mhz Athlon, lol.
Could I safely fit 3 fans on one fan header?
I know I'm late but if you use this with two 4 pin pwm fans will the 3 pin still read the other fan data?
hm so do I understand? if I put 2 4pin fans on this Y splitter then it will take info from 4pin fan to motherboard then motherboard adjusts voltage and BOTH even where that 3 pin Y connector WILL adjust to all other 4pin am I right??
What about a 4 way cpu fan split? I have 4 corsair mag lev 120mm fans.
is there no problem for me to boot if i have no overclock or anything and i plug in my cpu fan and 3 case fans in 2 of them? splitted up i need anserw please
I have 2 pin fans, but 4 pin motherboard connectors. Is there something I can do to convert 4 pins to 2 pins?
I know this video is old but if I say have 4 3-pin fans, can I use 2 splitters on my two 4-pin fan headers on my motherboard. Will I be able to control the speed through voltage? Will the fact that one of the pins is not there on the end of splitter (3rd pin missing) not allow me to control it?
You can use the hub and via bios adjust the speed and curve
Iv bought the splitters but I hooked them up and nothing happened is there another way to get the fans power I couldnt find the fan hub you showed in the beginning of the video. If anyone could help that would be great.
Why do you have a seemingly arbitrary chunk of concrete on your glass top desk? Just in case of hyper rage emergencies?
lol it's to get rid of the hd full of pirated stuff and Cheesy Pizza in case fbi comes to visit unannounced
how many Y splitter i can use to 1 MB connector ?
i have only 1 fan pin and 1 for CPU this is for mine wattercooler
Dude, stay on subject.
I have an older motherboard that only has one connector for a case fan. Is there a risk of over blowing something if I use a splitter to add 2 fans? I can't find out the power output in the MB manual. Will the fans be regulated the same as the CPU fan with a splitter? Can I split the CPU fan connector and add a case fan onto that as well? Can somebody help me please?
So do I use a fan spliter?
Did you go in the bios mode and adjust your fan speed
why do y fan splitters have ONE 4 pin socket with the others having three?
Can 1 fan heather handle 3 case fans?
Could I technically use a 6 slot PWM fan hub to control 12 or even 18 fans?
Lets say I have a PWM hub with 6 available slots. If I had 12 fans and used 6 two-way Y splitters to connect those 12 fans to the 6 available slots on my fan hub, shouldn't I be able to individually control each pair of fans as though I were just controlling 6 fans with no splitters?
Timmy i have the same problem with ram i have all 4 slots occupied on my MSI Pro Carbon AC , my memory is rated at 3200 and all modules are matched pairs , yet when i apply the correct speed via bios all i get are the dreaded beeps and it shts down and restarts i can only run at 2933 and not 3200 , i have Kingston Hyper X predator memory , any help would be greatly appriciated , or its ditch 2 all four modules and get 2 8Gb ones which i really dont want to do ... Thanks in advance ...Shaun.
"CRJ DC Power Supply For 2 x 3/4-Pin 12V Computer PC Case Fans" on ebay you can power fans with an external ac adapter as well, and they have pwm controllers using jumpers to set speed, also on ebay. Course you can just buy certain antec cool and quiet fans with built in fan speed switches.
My fans come with a 3 pin male to (4pin?) female molex adapter. What's up with that?
Can you control the fan control
So that's why my boot didn't work when I tried to do a mild overclock
can i use 1 to 4 fan adapters? or is that not good.
I have a fan hub somewhere in my house also bought a fan controller but then I realized that my x370 moboard has like 6 or 7 fan spots on the board. lol I have like 8 fans on my case and I keep half of them running at full speed bc I'm rocking 2 gfx cards close together and an 1800x which should be nick named the space heater. I had to buy a window unit to keep up with the heat that my computer generates when I'm gaming lol.
could i use a double splitter on a msi m110 pro vd
What has OC cycling got to do with fans?
Is this fan splitter for a sys fan port on a motherboard cause that’s what I’m looking for
when buying the fans i thought how hard can it be? now ive got the fans and looking to put them in, im looking inside my case and anxiety gets the better of me i panic and freeze i just cant seem to do im terrifyied something goes wrong and i lose my rig fk that be devastating!
Where should u connect it once u connected All fans on that Fan hub Where should Fan hub Wire Go System 1 or Cpu fan
Please help
Motherboard: ASUS TUFF Z370 PLUS GAMING
I just received my NZXT KRAKEN x62 and realized the fans are 4 pin. I have 2 case fans plugged into the back fan headers I only have one more but they are 3 pin
Is it possible to plug in the 2 radiator fans into the CHA FAN or any 4 pin connector??
Sir Timmy hasnt changed much with his editing lmao
Useful video, and a very likeable chap, thanks man. thumbs up!
If I connect a 3-pin fan using this, will my motherboard be able to change fan speed via DC (changing voltage)? Or will it just run at full-speed?
IDK what you mean by "using this", so.
- Using Fan hub: Depends on fan hub you buy. Get the smart one that are DC fan controllable.
- Using Y splitter: Yes, but RPM you are controlling is only monitored on one fan ie. You have 2 fans one is max 1200rpm other max at 2400rpm and 1200rpm fan is on 4 wire connector of the Y. The RPM the PC is controlling is 0-1200rpm. The other fan is running at whatever voltage MOBO given to the 1200rpm one. For example, it is running the 1200rpm fan at 600rpm, the 2400rpm fan maybe running at 1000-1500rpm or whatever the fan are capable.
It's complicated.
So how did he hook all the fans up with just two splitters?
What if I only use the cpu cooler and one exhaust fan??
Ah so cute, I have a 12.5L custom made SFF case with 6 fans (well they're actually major part of the frame really), and a water pump, on an ITX MoBo, the only reason I'm thinking of fan-hub is if it reduces these fan cables a bit :)
Simple fan controller like the NZXT I have for $30 is all you need to control the speed of up to 6 fans interchangeably.
Do they make a hub for 20 fans?
i dont understand the difference between 4 pin and 3 pin i never built a pc its confusing and what header does the hub plug into
How do I connect a 5v fan hub to my MOB? ? ? ? ? ?
And thats why you dont buy Thermaltake garbage. Get a true PWM fan hub with a SATA/Molex power connector and all your fans will connect to the hub and the hub to a fan header for speed control and custom fan curves. Thats rookie level shit.
so you mean, a hub with 2 cables, one for sata/molex and another for the motherboard 3 pin fan conector?
can i put a fan header in my cpu fan?
I have a hybrid gpu and I decided to use a 4 way splitter and let my GPU drive 4 fans. Worked great...for a time. Now I have a dead fan controller and the pump doesn't work. Should have used a hub or something. Now I get to learn how to mod the pump cable to a pwm 4 pin so I can let my mobo drive the pump and radiator fans.
where can i get 3.5 fan controller
Have you tried the corsair comander pro?
Wait, so can I install more than one splitter or can't I? Why does the video continue to bios speaker and overclocking? What _is_ this mess?
THE EXACT VIDEO I NEED AND THE EXPLANATION U JUST EARN A SUB
Which fan header was it plugged into on the motherboard from the fan hub? If plugged into a header that doesn't support a true PWM signal, then that header's voltage will interfere with the SATA power connection causing the fans to run only on full power. You most likely made an installation mistake that caused the fans to run on full from the Hub. You shouldn't have the issue if you plug the hub into the motherboards CPU_FAN which modern motherboards have true PWM support.
hello I have a question for you, how many ARGB fans (maximum) can be connected to a single 5v-3pin collector ?? (With splitter)
A ARGB fan is not a standard for how many LEDs a fan has. Coolermaster fans often has 8, some fans have 4, some has 20+
Also "single 5v 3pin" is not a standard for how many amps the manufacturer has given that header.
I have the same problem. My case came with a dc/pwm fan hub controller but my motherboard can't seem to read the headers or I'm not able to controller them through the software.
Does your BIOS have fan adjustment options? Most new UEFI's have some sort of fan profile adjustment.
I must of got lucky setting mine up cause I have 6 fans generally running, 3 at full speed and mine is super quiet. Also I definitely fought the ryzen with memory and CPU overclock. Took a few days of dicking with it to post everytime and be stable at 3000 on the ram and 3.9 on all cores. R5 2600 g.skill 16gb 3000mhz.
so if u connect 2 fans via Y splitter to 1 headder will that resault as 1 option for 2 fans or 2 separate options for both in UEFI?
Leas Asdf
One option per header.
Thank you bro!
How can I sync it with aura sync?
can i ruin a fan header by pulling more power to the fans?
Thanks for the video 👍
Can I add 2 fans toh the same 3 pin argb header from different brands and control their rgb from my motherboard ?
you can have 10 diff brands on 1 header.
I'm with everybody else, I came here looking to see if fan header spliters do work because I see a lot of neg. reviews on amazon about these.
I have 5 case fans plus two HS fans + the PSU..all 120mm. All are running at 12v, except the bottom fan(draws from the bottom and blows straight up), which is an old TT 95 cfm from my old TT Water 3.0. It has a controller in the back expansion port, and i turn it down(slightly ~9volts), as it has an annoying wine. Most of the others are 8-9 year old Scythe Slipstreams (88 cfm). I like running my fans at 12v, if i wanted silence, i would buy the weaksauce fans that are available, and run them at 12v. I would find that TT fan hub useful, and will start looking online for one.
I've been thinking about a couple y splitters, but i like the idea of using a Sata power cable.
What happen to the fans?
so use fans hub the fans have alot noise loud. But when use fans splitter Y cable the fans spinning quiet slient ? how many fans Y cable spitter I can connect to motherboard ?
On average each header has an output of 1amp. You need to look at your fans to see what the they draw. Unfortunately the mobo manual doesn't usually state the amperage output. You might need to contact the manufacturer to find out for sure. The fans I have installed draw .33 amps so I could install three on each header. But its better to be safe so I have two installed on each header. I hope that gives you a idea.
Is that actually overclocked? DDR4 is always 2400 without a profile. You aren't actually OCing if the dimms are rated higher.
The thing that I'm unsure about - how does one determine individual fan speeds when multiple are connected to a single PWM header? Does the motherboard take values from both fans, and _average_ the values? Or would it just accepting incoming speed values regardless the source, thus it will show alternating "jumpy" values if one fan (with wear and tear) spins 800rpm while another 1500rpm? Or perhaps the ideal intelligence of the motherboard to even notice there are two physical fans connected and automatically adds a new logical "CHA_FAN" object for separate monitoring.
That's the neat part, they don't.
@@joyimmanuel858 Don't what?
Aaron the two fans will run at the same speed.
did u screw a mic stand into a brick?lol
So basically fan spltter and fan hub has same purpose the only thing that differs is that you can connecy more fan on the fan hub and its more neat.
Great advice overall. Speaker point was well made its bad mobos don't come with them these days. Mine is like 15 years old lol
I appreciate my comment comes about 3 years too late but you needed the ThermalTake Commander FP not the FX. FX is a 3pin fan hub. FP is a 4pin fan hub and would have been ideal for your application. Not ideal to be drawing more power from the motherboard than it's designed for by using Y-splitters, not to mention untidy using multiple Y-splitters.
