PLEASE help. I want to add case fans. I want to install a Rosewill brand "8 fan hub" with addressable rgb 3 pin to mobo. It' came with my 3 pack of Rosewill rgb fans that are 4 pin, a remote, and a SATA plug for hub into PSU.
My Mobo is an Asus Prime Z 270 A and all the fan headers are 4 pin.
My fan hub cable has two options (both two different 3 pin configurations) for Asus and Gigabyte boards.
One side of the cable from the fan hub (labeled by them for Asus Mobo) It is solid molded plastic 3 pin. This configuration "*" = pins [* * plastic space *]
There is another fan hub cable for what they lable for a Gigabyte board 3 pin. (Small skinny rectangle)
this configuration "*" = pins [***]
Questions are as follows
1. Is there a way to make the hub work? I would prefer it
2. Is there a replacement cable for 4 pins on the Mobo/3 pin to hub for the fan hub?
3. Three fans. Could I plug them in directly to the Mobo
4. Is it safe to do so?
5. Will any of this fry my Mobo?
I guess not since the fan hub plugs into the PSU via SATA
I already have three case fans connected to the built in NZXT case fans controller. Also a Kracken x 62 aio plugged into the Mobo properly.
Rosewill is a no go on info. Limited info in Mobo manual. Google give the solutions to the opposite problem (3 pin Mobo 4 pin fans)
Thank you for your help and time
