Hello TomsHardware people!
I just finished building my very first gaming PC yesterday and what joy it was powering it on for the first time and setting it up. Such a fulfilling experience.
I built my pc in the NZXT H9 flow tower which comes with 4 fans and then i bought 6 extra Arctic F12 fans. Since my mobo only had 6 sys_fan slots, i bought Arctic PWM Case Fan hub - 10 ports so i could connect all my fans to that. Now the problem is that all my fans run at 100% speed all the time. I cant change this in any fan control software or even in the bios. From what i can see the problem is that all the fans is 3 pin and the fan hub is 4 pin. And it has something to do with PWC and DC. Im sorry for being so clueless but i have absolutely no knowledge on the area and could really use some help to find a solution since it makes a lot of noise when they run at 100% all the time and i also dont think it is healthy for the fans to run at 100% all the time.
Do i need to buy another fan hub? Should i buy splitter cables to connect multiple fans to different sys_fan slots? Would i need to buy 10 other fans to get it to work?
All solutions and suggestions are welcome.
