Description of πŸ”Œ Electop 10-Port 12V 4-Pin PWM Fan Hub for PC Chassis, CPU Cooling, Molex Controller

Expand 4-pin fan interfaces, solving the problem of lack of motherboard fan interfaces. Designed for 12V 4-Pin 3-Pin fans, support simultaneous starting at most 10 channel fans. In the hub interfaces, the RED CPU interface is the CPU fan dedicated interface (with speed detection function). Since the mainboard can only receive one rotation speed signal, the remaining nine conventional fan interfaces have the PWM function, but no speed signal. For both 4-Pin and 3-Pin fans. Please note 4Pin fan speed can be adjusted by temperature control. 3Pin fan can also be used, but because 3Pin has no PWM function, it is at fixed speed after inserting. There is EVA double-sided adhesive at the back of the hub, which can be easily affixed to a flat place. Also a fixing screw hole in the middle of the PCB to facilitate fixing to a part of the chassis. RED is expected to be a pass through for the CPU fan. So, the hub has a power source fed from the computer power supply, then the speed is regulated by the speed for the "source" fan. You can connect to the CPU fan lead on the system board or the chassis fan lead. The ten fans will spin at the same speed, that designated by the system for that fan. If the chassis fan is configured in BIOS to run at 50%, you will have 10 fans at 50%.

Cheap way to add more fans, but PWM control doesn't work

Used this as I ran out of motherboard fan headers (had 4 attached, planned to add 5 more). Read the instructions and I have 1 fan in the slot marked "CPU" connected to a Molex and plugged into the slot with the supplied PWM cable between the PWM slot and the motherboard fan connector. All fans are working and there is no problem for the motherboard to read the fan speed connected to the "CPU" slot, but I couldn't adjust the speed (tried via BIOS, Speedfan and other fan monitoring software)…

Pros
  • In hub interfaces, the RED CPU interface is a dedicated CPU fan interface (with speed measurement). Since the mainboard can only process one speed signal, the other nine common fan interfaces have a PWM function, but no speed signal.
Cons
  • Lots of things

Provides intermittent power supply

If you are reading this review then you are used to electronic devices like this that either come across or don't. I originally bought it with the intention of only getting it to work at full power (this is possible if you don't connect the device to the motherboard via the supplied 4-pin connector). I was initially very happy with this unit and it did a great job with the fans I installed (I have 6 fans). However, when I monitored the sound level, I noticed that it fluctuated much more than…

Pros
  • 4-pin fan interface expansion, solves the lack of motherboard fan interfaces. Designed for 12V 4pin 3pin fan, supports up to 10 duct fans running at the same time.
Cons
  • makes you angry

Best option for running multiple case fans

This was exactly what I needed because I had 7 CPU fans connected. Very simple: The fans copy the CPU fan. You connect the board to the motherboard header of the CPU fan and then to the Molex for power. Depending on the size of your fan cables you may need an extension cable and I would say it's best to mount it in the middle of the case for easy access. I only had to add an extension for a fan. I can't tell how strong the glue is because I screwed mine in, but as long as you don't have to put…

Pros
  • RED is likely to be a pass-through for the CPU fan. So the hub has a power source that is powered by the computer's power supply, then the speed is controlled by the speed of the "source" fan. You can connect to the CPU fan pin on the system board or to the chassis fan pin. Ten fans spin at the same speed that the system assigned to that fan. If the case fan is configured in BIOS to run at 50%, you have 10 fans running at 50%.
Cons
  • Too long to wait

Amazing adapter, very cool design

This fan hub does exactly what it says, it takes the PWM fan control signal and distributes it to 10 fans while offloading the motherboard/graphics card/whatever and getting the main fan RPM correct reports. Absolutely amazing for an old motherboard that can have power issues, not enough fan headers, limited options for timing signals to headers in BIOS, etc. I'm currently using two of these: One pulls the signal from my Z87 motherboard's CPU. fan header and split it between 2 fans on my CPU…

Pros
  • For 4pin and 3pin fans. Please note that the 4Pin fan speed can be adjusted by temperature control. It is also possible to use a 3-pin fan, however as the 3-pin has no PWM function it will run at a fixed speed once installed.
Cons
  • Ratio Set
