If your MB has the 3pin header that looks like the picture in the link. And you can do the same. http://www.erodov.com/forums/imagehosting/16546da8dc112...

So , I can connect 4 fans to a hub and then connect that hub to the 3 pin header without damaging the header ??? Please confirm .. Actually , I heard that the header cannot provide that much current ( or some reason ) which made me worry about destroying my mobo ... However , if connecting in that way is fine then it will be great ...

Here is the link ---> http://www.deepcool-us.com/Product/Fun_Hub/
I think that it is basically y splitting and if that's true then wouldn't that damage the mobo ???

Best solution
Hmm, yeah looks like just a splitter. I would Not connect it to a single fan header. (if you only have one fan header, likely a lower cost board which could burn up if you try running 4 fans off it. Yeah, too much current draw... ) You could get an adapter and connect that Fan Hub to a molex connect which Would be perfectly safe. Then your fans would run straight off your power supply.

(NOTE: maybe your Fan Hub already includes this adapter???)

jb6684 is right, 4 fans are too much for the 3pin header, if the fan comes with one this adapter ( http://images10.newegg.com/NeweggImage/ProductImageComp... ) then you can use it to connect to the PSU, if no, then get the adapter that jb6684 suggested.

Yeah but then I would be running the fans at full speed always which I would like to avoid for longivity and noise reduction ... I was thinking of a fan controller but then again that would be my last option ... Anyways I have the cooler master k380 chassis and as far as the fan controller goes I am looking at the deepcool rockmaster 3.0 ... The controller seems to be good , I am only worried about the quality of the product specially the usb 3.0 ports .. I mean , I don't know if they will get damaged early or not ..
