3 pin fan hub recommendation?

[x7solidstate7x]

I have a Thermaltake core X71 with a total of 10 corsair sp120 quiet edition fans (3-pin). Does anybody know of a fan hub which will allow me to connect all 10 fans, while being able to control the RPM through the motherboard bios? Preferably with a molex or sata connection for stable power.

If such a thing doesn't exist, could someone possibly suggest a hub that can control 5?

Thank you ahead of time.

There are no such fan hubs in existence, since to achieve DC control for 10 fans via BIOS, the MoBo fan header must be the one that supplies all the input power. Most MoBo fan headers are rated for 1A at 12V and can support 2-3 fans (up to 5 fans if fan amperage is below 0.2A).

The closest you can get is Thermaltake Commander FP,

It's designed for 4-pin fans and it can control 4-pin fans via PWM signal from MoBo, so you can control all fans from BIOS. But it can't control 3-pin fans since as i said, the input voltage must be regulated to control 3-pin fans. Since all input voltage comes from SATA connector, 3-pin fans can't be controlled.

So, either upgrade all your fans from 3-pin ones to 4-pin ones and use Thermaltake Commander FP or keep your 3-pin fans and get 2x fan controllers. Most fan controllers fit into 5.25" external bay, while there are few internal ones as well, e.g NZXT GRID+ V2 and Corsair Commander Mini.

In my Skylake build (full specs in my sig), i have Thermaltake Commander F6 RGB in use. Since it's a fan controller and not a fan hub, it has 6 channels with temp sensor for each channel,
