I have a Gigabyte Z170X Gaming 7 rev 1.0 MoBo. I want to add a 3 way fan splitter cable to run 3 identical non-PWM case fans off the same Sys_Fan header which is not PWM.
Now in order to monitor the RPM of the fans through BIOS my understanding is that this cable can have only one RPM sensing wire back to the motherboard header. This should give me the speed of all the identical fans based on the speed of one fan.
I have been looking at 3 and 4 way 3pin splitter cables until I am blue in the face trying to find one with only one "sense wire" connection on only one of the 3 fan connectors. Do they make such and animal? Would it be possible to simply cut 2 of the sense wires on the 3-fan connectors making it do what I want? Would a any 4 pin cable be able to do this?
I am unclear if the MoBo fan speed control uses the case ambient temp to control the fans by outputting a percentage of voltage to the fans
I have not been able to find in the MoBo manual the maximum output amperage for the Sys_Fan header. Most people suggest it is typically 1 amp DC..
