Is is safe to use the hub ? Im using a320m pro v2 m2. It has one cpu fan. One jled1. So im planning to buy 3 pwm case fan. Is this the best and safe way to power the fan ? Is there any options much more safer for my pc health ?
Motherboards want to monitor the RPMs of the CPU fan to protect the chip. Powering the CPU fan from a fan controller powered by a molex plug prevents that monitoring. I don't recommend it, and your motherboard may not boot without a CPU fan RPM reading.Is is safe to use the hub ? Im using a320m pro v2 m2. It has one cpu fan. One jled1.

Do NOT use a fan splitter for the CPU fan header. ONLY the CPU fan or specific aspects of pumps (and such) should be hooked there.
Typically a molex fan hub is only going to power the fans (CASE fans) at full speed.
You can get headers that power from molex and use the motherboard CASE fan header to make variable speed.
You can get headers or splitters that power from the CASE fan header to a couple of (generally a max of 3) fans.
I see thankyou!, Do you think molex to pwm connector is okay to power pwm fans ?Motherboards want to monitor the RPMs of the CPU fan to protect the chip.

Is it safe to connect like that ? From psu to molex and then to case fan header(sys fan) which power the hub ? Or can I just use the power supply to power the molex then connect the pwm case fans to it ( run full speed ). Btw sys fan header can monitor speed and control ? Or maybe should i use splitter to power 2 fans then use hub to power others fan. Btw is pwm header same with case fan/sys fan header ?
