Anybody know how to get this thing working correctly, I have got a Enthoo Evolv ATX Mid Case with said Fan Hub bolted to it connected to 3 x PH-F 140SP fans. Problem is, what ever i try I cant get the fans to run below 1100 RPM.

I have tried swapping all 3 Sys fan headers, CPU header - setting BIOS from voltage to PWM - Fans always stay the same.

I did connect the Fan Hub to the CPU header but it didn't make that much difference.
1. Should I just junk it and buy the NZXT Grid+ v2.
2. Swap case fans out for something better to go with the Grid+ v2

Got a Cryorig R1 Ultimate winging its way to me so I want to sort the Airflow out through the case ASAP.

Regards, Sven
 
On gigabyte board for me it worked while connected to cpu_opt, hub molex connected to power supply. On idle fans run at 550 (bios profile silent)
 
Some reason or other can't get fans to drop below 1100 RPM, anyhow not to worry as I've ordered a Grid+ v2, see how that goes
 
It might be gigabytes bios/uefi software limiting the pwm range for "safety" reasons or w/e.

I have a computer with an asus m-itx board (maximus impact iirc), in where it refuse to let me control the fan speeds how i want: ex. the cpu_fan header will not let me enter anything below 50% as minimum speed, and I have found no way of disabling this security measure or whatever it is.

I ended up getting myself an aquacomputer poweradjust and some 3-pin fans instead..
 
I think it may be the Board as well, Like you say only the CPU_header is PWM controlled.

Ordered a Grid+ V2, will see how that goes when it arrives. Got to be better than whats in it now.
 
But this hub works on voltage control as well (you just have to connect it to power supply and other than cpu fan header ). While connected to PWM fan header it didn't work for me too (PWM -power supplied from motherboard).
 
Yeah, Tried all different combinations, most I can get is a 10 - 15% drop in fan speed. Think it may be a Motherboard issue as other Gigabyte owners are having similar issues
 
The PWN values are just too high I believe in gigabyte bios even set to silent profile. I use a custom fan profile through Gigabyte Information Viewer (SIV) which allows all the fans to speed up slow down as necessary through the hub and 8 fans.
