I have a Corsair Hydro H100 GTX, which I would like to set up in a push-pull configuration. It's push-only from the factory. The pump/heatsink assembly has a fan control cable with two PWM plugs on it for controlling the stock fans.
I've read that the fan controller built into the H100GTX is too weak to burden with four fans via splitters. However, my case has a built-in powered PWM fan hub. It has a SATA power input, a PWM fan input (for plugging into a PWM motherboard header) and five 3-pin outputs which it voltage-controls based on the PWM signal coming in from the mobo header. It also reports the tach signal (which I assume you be averaged from all attached fans) back to the mobo over the PWM connection.
In my case, the PWM signal would be coming from one of the fan power cables on the H100GTX. Has anyone tried this? Any reason why it might not work?
