Hello, I'm looking into the fan setup for the ASRock H470M Pro4 micro ATX motherboard. I need five 120mm fans and a CPU fan, and possibly a fan hub if it's not enough.

The CPU fan usually has its own dedicated connector. I’m not sure there will be five standard fan connectors. Your motherboard only provides three. You don’t need a hub; a simple fan splitter works just fine: https://www.amazon.com/Splitter-Computer...357&sr=8-4

From Newegg they display these items: one 4-pin CPU fan connector, one 4-pin CPU/water pump fan connector with smart speed control, and four 4-pin chassis/water pump fan connectors also with smart speed control.

Technically there are sufficient options, but the water pump connectors may limit speed adjustments.

The CPU fan connector handles a maximum of 1A (12W) power.

The CPU/water pump fan supports up to 2A (24W).

The chassis/water pump fan also supports 2A (24W).

CPU_FAN2/WP, CHA_FAN1/WP, CHA_FAN2/WP, CHA_FAN3/WP and CHA_FAN4/WP can identify whether a 3-pin or 4-pin fan is connected.

Headers on the front can help with running cables if placed at the back of the case.

I assisted a friend in assembling a PC using splitters, and organizing the cables was quite straightforward.
