Curious Phanteks PWM Hub Question

[Relentless81]

Hello,

Riddle me this please -

3 x 3pin case fans that can run at 1600RPM

1 x 4pin CPU fan that can run at at 1200RPM

All fans are plugged into the PWM hub and the hub is plugged into the CPU PWM header

Fan1 on the Hub is connected to the CPU fan which is the "Reporting fan"

Because the reporting fan can only reach 1200RPM does this mean that the hub that will only tell the case fans to max out at 1200RPM?

And what about the other way around, if the CPU fan was capable of 1600RPM but the case fans 1200RPM, would the hub tell the case fans to run at 1600RPM which is beyond their spec?

Thanks

No and no.

Pwm drives fans at a percentage of their maximum. The pwm hub does some conversion of this but should still give a fairly linear fan response.

Great thanks
