Outstanding in everything. Works out of the box.

Very well made bushings at a great price. Fan hubs can make a lot of mistakes, but they worked right away. I use two: 1 for 360 rad in push/pull mode (3 noctua nf f12 stock fans + 3 s36 fractals, all will soon be replaced by corsair ml 120 pro leds) and 1 for 5 corsair ml120 per led case fans , coming soon 6. 0 problems. Couldn't be happier with them. You overlook quite a few obstacles that others have.

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Functionality

Small things make a big difference

Airflow is such a big deal these days that it can be difficult to find a way to hook up all your fans and have them run that way that they lower the end motherboards that may only have 2 case fan headers. I used to use splitters and fan extenders to connect all my fans where I wanted. Everything changed with this article. Cable management just got cleaner and easier, especially with window cases. I connected the fan connector to the CPU socket on the motherboard and connected all the fans to…

Pros
  • Big choices
Cons
  • I don't remember, but there was something

The best fan hub I've ever used.

This was EXACTLY what I needed for my 9 fan setup. To be honest, this was the easiest and most convenient brand name hub I've ever used. Running 9 PWM Cougar fans 100% in unison is awesome. Relieve your mobo with stable power supply from a single Sata port. Love it. Very easy to install, comes with all the hardware needed for a safe installation. It took a full 30 minutes to get everything connected/hidden with my cables. Very happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend if you are…

Pros
  • I hold my fists
Cons
  • Some errors

It only works for fans and cooling

I ordered a very similar competitor just because it was a few dollars cheaper. It was falling into disrepair so I went with Thermaltake instead as it is at least a reputable brand. It just works. I don't know why everyone says PWN doesn't work, in my case it works perfectly. You MUST have a PWN fan connected to the first fan port of the hub for the PWN to work. The PWN information from the motherboard ONLY goes to the 1st fan slot, and then all other 9 slots will get the PWN from 1. If you…

Pros
  • Computer components
Cons
  • Low repairability

Works, Deepcool doesn't.

I was trying to save money by buying a PWM hub with a Deepcool 10 fan and they sent me a DOA product. Then I ordered Thermaltake and for a few dollars it works perfectly. I appreciate that the SATA connector plugs directly into the fan hub (rather than through another set of poorly wired connectors) and the size of the hub itself seems more robust. It has an LED to let you know the device is powered on (other products do too) and I connected a Noctua low noise adapter in-line with this device…

Pros
  • Internal components
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options

READ THIS IF YOU HAVE FAN SPEED PROBLEMS

later OK. I went through all the reviews and a lot of people had the same problem EVEN if you have a PWM fan in the first slot. I had the same annoying problem. I found that you should NOT connect the hub's main connector to the system fan connector, you should connect it to the CPU fan connector. It MUST be plugged into the CPU socket for the hub to control the speed of each fan. Why? I have no idea and it's really stupid that it should work like that. Both my system fan header and CPU fan…

Pros
  • Case Fan
Cons
  • I will add

UPDATE: I ordered a replacement to make sure the first fan hub was defective. As it was, it now works as an ad and highly recommends this product. My only issue is that you can't control the speed of each fan (which would be a great feature). Overall, I recommend this product, especially if you only have one or two fan heads. The main reason I give this product 3 stars is that the fan speed control doesn't work. I have a fan control hub connected to one of the motherboard headers. fan header. I

Pros
  • Fan and Cooling
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
