Hiyo, wanted to ask around how most of y'all manage multiple fans, especially for ITX builds?
Currently have 2 fan headers and I'm a little wary of putting more than 3 fans to a header because I've heard you nightmare stories about that.
Is a fan hub that plugs into sata ports preferable? Are there any other methods of managing fans?
woah legit? I'm okay with that but kinda wished my case fans didn't speed up together with my CPU fan ya know, wish there was one more header I could count on 🤦♀️
Its all on default here, runs doom eternal on ultra
get silent fans and power them on molex to 3pin ?
my components didn't actually offer a molex/3pin thing, unless I'm missing something about how they look like
Get yourself something like this, https://www.umart.com.au/Deepcool-10-Ports-Fan-Hub_55281G.ht… , and you can control all the case fans off one fan header.
So your CPU fan can run off one header and all the case fans off the other.
yea was thinking of getting that, cheers!

Make sure you follow the CPU fan/header advice - your CPU fan should be the first thing to ramp up due to sudden loads, the case fans not so much.
General advice is 4 fans per 1A header. If you've got more than 8 fans in an ITX build then something doesn't seem right.
