fan splitters or a fan hub. (for both molex and fan ports and even sata)

splitters work nicely if u only need one or 2 (but they do add cable clutter)

fun hubs are multiple fan connectors on a small board you connect to a fan header (the sys and/or cpu fan on motherboard).

both 3 pin and 4 pin models of both methods. (3pin cant be speed controlled whereas 4pin fans can assumign you are using a 4pin header/hub/splitter)


Molex will (afaik) work, but will always run fans at max speed (even if 4pin).


this is a highly rated sata powered hub (atm only like $15) that turns one motherboard fan into 8. https://www.amazon.com/SilverStone-System-Cables-Black-CPF04/dp/B00VNW556I/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_147_t_0/136-5397604-0293452?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=09W36KES672KFRH806H2&dpID=41yV5kjgjRL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=detail


also hear its better to use sys fan for splitters/hubs and not cpu fan (if possible) but not exactly sure why.
