Hello guys.
I would like to ask a question about PWM fans & CPU cooler fan. I just bought my first PC parts and I am going to build it in next few days (I’ve always been using laptops). The question is regarding these parts:
PC Case: Fractal Design Define 7 XL
Motherboard: Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Hero (WI-FI) ATX AM4
6x PWM fans: be quiet! SilentWings 3 PWM High-Speed
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 CHROMAX.BLACK

- CPU cooler connector will go to CPU_FAN – will use 2 fans so 2x L.N.A. will go to 4-pin PWM Y cable, and that cable’s connector will go to CPU_FAN on motherboard. Right?
- Then I will use 6x PWM fans (3x front, 2x top and 1x rear) – the thing is, that I want to have all of these fans on same RPM every time. And here comes the part I am not sure of:
- a.) Should I buy some fan splitters (I have found only 1-4pins to 2-4pins splitter NOCTUA NA-SYC1 Chromax White)? I would connect 3 of those splitters into Fractal’s Nexus+ 2 fan hub like on this pisture
- b.) If it is ok to connect 3 fan splitters into this hub (so I would sacrifice connector for Main/CPU 4-pin PWM fan)? Where should the yellow connector go to – as CPU_FAN slot will be taken by Noctua NH-D15 should it go to CHA_FAN1 or to H_AMP connector?
