Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works great but there are tolerance issues

Once you get it working this product works as advertised. It connects your 3-pin RGB devices and 4-pin PWM fan power cables in one place, which is useful if your motherboard only has one addressable RGB connector. It can even accept some daisy chaining; I daisy-chained four fans and connected them to a single RGB connector (this is a power supply that MOLEX, albeit in a separate configuration, connects directly to the PSU, so you'll probably have to connect the fans individually to the PWM connectors need to connect to power them) . Tolerances are a bit tight on the PWM side and too loose on the RGB side. However, the SATA connection has the worst tolerance. Its connector easily powers peripherals, but the data side, which sends the RGB information, simply doesn't fit your standard SATA connector. It takes a lot of force on the SATA connector for the hub to recognize RGB. Sometimes I've found the connection loosens and all RGB disappears because that part of the SATA connection is no longer recognized by the hub. tight) along the entire length of the hub to keep the SATA connector securely attached to the hub. It works great, although you can either daisy chain them with their RGB strips or use a splitter to feed them into a hub. My motherboard is an ASRock X570 Taichi and the hub is Polychrome Sync compatible which is nice.
