ARCTIC Case Fan Hub - 10-fold PWM Fan Distributor with SATA Power - Black

I used it from ages in every PC I built. This should be a standard component in every computer case. Is very useful for cable management improving air flow but most for motherboard because it takes the burden of powering "X" fans which many times are incorrectly linked to MOBO. With this device you're linking your fans directly to the power supply which is way better than if they would be linked to the MOBO. This device is so reliable and so well designed, (is possible even to be magnetic attached or sticked to the case) , that in every built I put it I forget it, is like is a part of the original case itself. When I am doing a new build then I realise I miss something and I remember that I need to buy this fan hub separately, because I expect to be already part of the case. Simple, really helpful, reliable, well designed, cheap, should be part of every modern PC built.

Nice little device that hooks up to a SATA 12V connector. You then plug the supplied lead into one of your PWM fan headers & that controls the device. You can the plug multiple fans into it & they all work in unison, being sent the same signal to all fans attached to the device. Inexpensive and works as described. It's small and comes with adhesive pads that you can use to position it somewhere convenient inside your case. I would suggest you consider getting some extension leads for some of the additional fans you plan to install. Technically not required but it makes running cables between the fan hub & fans easier.

Great works as expected but no connection for LED lights only fans can work, easy to install and when auto sync is set on the bios all fans will adjust automatically at boot

Good compact hub and still working fine after almost 3 months. The only thing i can fault is that the fan headers goes in more than i would like as it can be a pain to take them out. Comes with sticky strips or magnetic strips for attachment

Very nice and easy to install with 3M or magnet. Do the job for a nice price. Good value.

Connected to 10 fans, 3 on AIO, 3 reverse intakes, all keeping speed and colour

perfect size both in shape and internal storage. No problems accessing or retriveing data. Copied over complete hard drive as changing laptop - quick and easy

Solid hub, have only had it for a short period of time but it's functioning as it needs to, however the SATA had quite a bit of trouble plugging in properly, but eventually I got it to work.

Bu kadar işe yarayacağını düşünmemiştim. Ama çok memnun oldum.

Reçu très rapidement et exactement ce que je cherchais ! Ma carte mère, un peu ancienne, n’a qu’un seul port CHA FAN. J’avais donc branché 3 de mes 4 ventilateurs boîtier directement sur l’alim... résultat : un vacarme permanent, vu qu’ils tournaient à fond sans régulation. Je cherchais une solution simple mais fiable (et pas trop couteuse !). J’avais peur qu’un simple hub PWM ne tire trop sur la carte mère, donc ce modèle avec alimentation SATA est parfait. Il alimente les ventilateurs sans passer par la CM, mais reste relié à un port PWM pour que le BIOS gère la vitesse selon la température. Installé hier, tout fonctionne nickel ! Les ventilos sont silencieux, bien reconnus dans le BIOS, et leur vitesse s’ajuste automatiquement. Reste à voir sur le long terme, mais pour l’instant, c’est un sans-faute.

You can replace this thing with models from most any vendor. My use case makes the enclosure desirable, and this model wasn't much of any more expensive, even compared to many of the dubious Chinese vendors selling fully exposed PCB. For mounting you're given two options, double-sided adhesive, OR magnetic. The magnets are not especially strong, but don't need to be particularly powerful. Either way you can conceivably mount this in any case of any variety, somehow. I even have one of mine slapped onto the side of the PSU. Not much else to say. Simple device, and while there is a lot of competition on the market, these remain competitive in price. You could stand to save a few bucks on other products with exposed PCB, but unless you are buying exclusive to your exact model of case with precise mounting standoffs I would be dubious of so many exposed contacts. Price is always the arbiter, but I am not sure how much more expensive something like this would need to be compared to cheaper raw exposed PCB products. In my case the difference was about 2 dollars. I figure most fan hubs lacking housings are at least shielded on the rear, but I needed both sides enclosed. There was no way I could make up the difference without spending more - and certainly wouldn't care enough to figure out how true it is at a difference of ~2$. Even comparing 6$ difference to brands I wouldn't trust in a server if you paid me it is a trivial distinction. If you're buying bulk, get special order exclusive to your screw mount options.
