Manufacturer description
The ARCTIC Case Fan Hub solves a problem most builders hit halfway through a build: your motherboard has three or four fan headers and your case has nine fans. This 10-fold PWM distributor gives you ten 4-pin PWM sockets off a single motherboard header, so one control signal reaches every fan at once. Power comes from a SATA connector wired straight to your PSU rather than through the board, which means no voltage drop across the chain and up to 1 A per port with 4.5 A of input headroom. The first fan slot reports its RPM back to your system, so you still get a tachometer reading in BIOS and…
SpecPicks Verdict
SpecPicks scored ARCTIC Case Fan Hub using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the rgb & lighting category. ARCTIC's rgb & lighting lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.
Common buyer scenarios for rgb & lighting of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many fans can I connect to this hub?
Ten. The hub provides 10 x 4-pin PWM sockets, expanding a single motherboard header by nine additional fan slots.
Do all the fans run at the same speed?
Yes. The PWM signal from your motherboard is passed synchronously to every connected fan, so they all follow one curve.
Will my motherboard still see fan RPM?
Yes, for one fan. The hub reads the RPM of the first fan slot and returns that tachometer signal to your system.
Does it need power from the PSU?
Yes. Input is SATA power plus a 4-pin fan header. Fans draw from the PSU directly, with up to 4.5 A of input current.
Will it work with 3-pin fans?
The sockets are 4-pin PWM. Check the product listing and ARCTIC's specifications for compatibility with your specific fans.
