Case fan PWM/ARGB connection help please!

[HummuH1]

Hi all.

I have 6 x 140 be quiet! Silent Wings FX fans going into a NZXT H7 Flow with a MSI MAG Tomahawk Z790. They come with a SATA powered Hub with 6 x PWM fan connectors and 6 x ARBG connectors. I have the Hub connected to the CPU_FAN header and one of the ARGB connectors.

2 of the fans are attached to a 280mm AIO, both PWM and ARGB connected to the Hub, with 1 fan in the RPM PWM connector that sends speed to motherboard. BIOS is reporting the RPM fine as CPU Fan speed.

I'm not sure how to connect the 4 remaining case fans, 3 intake and 1 exhaust. I have no PWM daisy chain cable so thinking that I would connect each of the 4 ARGB's to the Hub but connect the 4 PWM connectors to 4 different SYS_FAN headers on the motherboard. I'm thinking that if I connect the 4 PWM to the Hub, all 6 will be acting like the CPU fan with the same RPM across all six. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not?

Would that be the right way to do it?

Thanks!

To close this one out, I connected the 2 AIO fans to the Hub and then to the CPU-FAN. I connected the remaining 4 (3 by daisy chain) to two SYS_FAN headers.

Connected all 6 ARGB into Hub then into single ARGB header.

All working as intended.

(3 by daisy chain) to two SYS_FAN headers.

you may want to be careful there not to overload the header. i like to use powered PWM splitters, the cost about £5 from ocuk and power the fans from the PSU but get the speed signal from PWM on the header.

TBF quiet! Silent fans tend not to pull a lot of power but at full speed can still blow it
