I'm setting up a PC with six quiet fans—three 140mm and three 120mm—none of which have RGB lighting. You only have three motherboard headers available. Looking for reliable hubs or splitters that can manage all the fans while keeping your setup organized.

You shared this to highlight a SATA-powered fan hub that has positive feedback on Amazon and suggests it functions well.

Current Be Quiet enthusiasts typically use both male and female headers for flexible connections. You can link the 140mm pieces, attach them to the CHAFAN_1 pin, then join the 120mm ones together and connect them to the CHAFAN_2 pin, leaving the third one available.

The 140mm version is available too, offering a larger size for more uniformity. What were your thoughts on the alternative idea from the first discussion?

BQ supporters don't use daisy chaining, you must install a fan hub. The SW4 Pro is way too expensive and unnecessary for case fans. Arctic PST models P12 or P14 fit the bill and are compatible with daisy chaining, while they're 75% cheaper.
