    You have given me an idea. The rgb fans that came with the case were pre wired with a splitter that ended in a 5v rgb head. When in cam all 3 fans are as one and all change together. So now il try putting 2 of them in the nzxt ports and see if the 3 fans then show up separately

    Sorry for the silly question, I'm just currently at the stage of selecting components for a further PC build. So, is one "NZXT RGB and Fan Controller" and one "RGB Controller" that comes with 3 F120 RGB Core Triple Pack fans enough for me? I'm just confused by the information about NZXT RGB and Fan Controller, which says: "Control up to nine 3-pin DC or 4-pin PWM fans, allowing Zero RPM mode to optimize noise levels." All the fans I plan to buy have a 4-pin power. I'm planning to build a pc with NZXT H6 Flow case (non-RGB) and Gigabyte B650 AORUS ELITE AX ICE motherboard. Overall, I plan to buy 2 140 mm RGB fans and 4 120 mm RGB fans, as well as NZXT Kraken Elite RGB 360 AIO. Will all the necessary connectors (including USB 2.0) be enough to connect and control fan speed and lighting? Thank you very much for your help!

  • @pulpficti0n1984

    Can these fans not just be daisy chained? I think the NZXT website states that there is a max 40 LEDS per channel. The Duo fans have 20 LEDS, so could two be daisy chained before connecting into the controller, or am I missing something? So if I was one RGB connector short on the controller (I.e. 7 fans as opposed to the 6 max limit), can I not just daisy chain two of them?

    Hey! awesome video! But i have a question and didnt understand some things (srry english is not my first language) :(, if you dont mind! So, I plan on buying a non-NZXT motherboard and want to have rgb NZXT fans and liquid cooler.
    So, I am going to have: Kraken 360 liquid cooler (3 fans) + I pack which came with the case (3 pack NZXT rgb core fans) and plan on buying ANOTHER 3 pack (2 above + 1 on the side). All these 3 packs come with a RGB hub.
    So, in order for everthing to work, I need to:
    1. Have each 3 packs connected to a RGB hub (so i have 3 rgb hubs)
    2. Connect each 3 fans to a fan splitters
    3. In the controller: put the 3 splitters in the 3 slots (9 fans total) and use 3 slots of the rgb (the 3 hubs)
    4. Have a SATA and USB connect to the non-NZXT motherboard
    Thank you! Would really appreciate your help!

My theory is that I can control those 3 Fans that are connected with the Y cable all at once but not seperate. So if I make Fan1 in Cam blue (3 Fans in Fan slot 1 with Y cable) goes also blue ?
