I'm organizing a build for the Thermtake - Tower and planning a custom water loop for both CPU and GPU. I plan to use two 480mm radiators with four fans each. I need one fan controller that can manage all the fans or at least separate control for both radiators. I've tried finding a suitable controller without success, as they either lack an interface or have insufficient ports. I'm considering using two hubs connected to a single controller, but haven't found one that fits. Additionally, I require two extra ports for the reservoirs to supply power. Fan splitter cables seem unreliable based on reviews. Any advice would be very helpful!

Sharing insights on the types of fan splitters available. I'm curious about PWM fans versus standard 3-pin fans. For RGB fans, most come with unique connectors and their own controllers. A good example is the TT Riing fans.

If you're using PWM fans, you can obtain a hub from Phanteks. By employing a few splitters per header on the hub, you can manage up to 11 fans.

I've pointed out one fan hub in particular.

There are alternative methods too—using motherboard headers and pairing them with hubs or PWM splitters, then adjusting fan speeds via the motherboard.

Could you also clarify what the case is meant for?

Sharing information about the types of fan splitters you've encountered. I'm curious about whether you're dealing with PWM fans or standard 3-pin fans. If you're interested in RGB fans, most come with their own connectors and controllers. A good example is the TT Riing fans.

For PWM fans, you can obtain a fan hub from Phanteks. By using splitters on each header of the hub, you can manage up to 11 fans.

I've pointed out one specific model here.
Are there other methods you're considering? What is the case about in question?
