Non-rgb fan controller

[ChickenRapist]

Hello people.

I have a corsair 780T casing with 5 140mm fans (iirc 3 are corsair Ml140s and 2 came together with the corsair casing) . I just got myself a noctua nh d15. So that's a total of 7 fans, but my X570 tomahawk mobo only has 5 fan headers.

I don't need any rgb function, just a good control of my fan curves. What would be a good option for me?

I'm able to get a corsair commander pro for 80 dollars but I feel like it's overkill since I don't need rgb functionality.

Would appreciate some advise as this is my first time needing a fan controller.

Thank you.

Get fan splitters and control with motherboard? No need buy fan hub.

Also the NH-D15 come with a splitter in the box, but only enough for cooler itself.

Appreciate the reply. I did consider a fan splitter. It would be a cheap alternative but I'm not sure about what I should take into consideration.
If I remembered correctly mobo fan headers can take up to 10W, so having two 5W fans is fine. But do I also have to consider the total amperage of the fans connected to the mobo fan header? This uncertainty is what made me consider getting a fan hub.

How about this fan controller? Got promotion now if you do not mind the brand.

Hi yongkit. Thanks for the recommendation. I don't mind any brand in fact, just something tried and test to work well. One question though, I read that the masterfan hub connects to the cpu fan header, so essentially all the fans will be running at the same rpm?

As to my knowledge fan hub can be connected to any available fan header, not necessarily must be CPU fan header.

for myself I separated the cpu fan header only for cpu fan purpose, and casing fan to other available fan header using my fan hub.

Apology I unable to confirm if all fan will be running at same rpm if we were to mix with different rpm fan through the fan hub.

Normally I do not mix different rpm fan into the same hub for better control of fan speed through my BIOS and monitor through software like HWiNFO.

I'd need to do a bit more read up then.

From what I've read, with the commander pro I can fine tune each and every fans of all 6 channels. So I'd love to have that kind of functionality.

But thank you for then info. Appreciate it.
