Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

You're going to need another hub of the same make and model to tether the other 3 fans. The image of your hub linked above shows three fans connected, didn't you say you have 9 fans?

I did plug 3 cable to the pwm hub
Do you mean a 3 way splitter for the ARGB/RGB? If so, don't use splitters on that hub, you're going to blow that hub.

hi
thank you!

yes the I use the 3 way pwm splitter that came with the fan from the box to connect 3 fan to 1 plug.
1 pwm plug for 3 fans on the pwm hub (the picture on first post)

I did plug 3 cable to the pwm hub

no not the ARGB. for the ARGB I use cooler master cable ARGB splitter 5 to 1 cable.

I'm not sure what's the cable name. pwm3 to 1 cable?

this one on the left.

So the cable plug to the hub is only 3

1 is for 3 fan on bottom
2 is for 3 fan on the upper case
3 is for 3 fan on the side case

A is Argb plugged with splitter 1 to 5 cable.

it’s working fine now. Is it okay? Or better get another hub?

thank you!

You do not need an extra Hub. The specs for those fans say the MOTOR of each pulls at max 0.15 A, so three of them comes to 0.45 A. The specs also say there is a Safety Limit for each fan of 0.37 A, which I believe is the very max the fan MIGHT pull briefly in odd situations. The specs for the HUB say its limits are 4.5 A total load for ALL fans connected, and 2.0 A max for all fans on ONE port. Each group of three fans on one Splitter amounts to under half an amp almost always, and MAYBE 1 amp if all three do something odd. With a 2.0 A max for each fan port, there is no problem. Simlar calculations for the total Hub load from 9 fans say also there is no problem.

oh okay thank you verry much for the information. I had zero understanding on how to read the fan current. I thought the 0,37Amps perfan is how to calculate it.

You're welcome. One less thing to worry about.
