Can I power two of these fans using a bus powered usb hub off my Onkyo receiver?

go ahead, but if you need 2 of these you're better off putting your Onkyo in a better ventilated space.

yes, this is exactly what this does. Split the power. (I am also assuming your psu is enough to handle all of the device loads.)

It's not a good idea, but technically yes. The remotes and the receivers have dip switches on them. As long as the settings on both are the same, the remote will control the fan. Therefore, if you have two fans with two receivers that both have the same settings as a single remote, it would operate both of them. However, I wouldn't assume it will control them in unison, especially if both fans are not perfectly within line of sight of each other. For that reason I would recommend a second remote (you can use the same type; it would just be controlled with a different setting). Regardless of that, will it work? Yes.

OK I see there are 2 USB headers on my motherboard. Do I have to ground any wires or anything?

Yes...one cable supports 2 fans. So you can have up to 4 fans for your 2 plugs. Keep in mind they run in parallel and are treated as one fan on MOBO.

Do you mean plugged in at the same time? If so, I have not figured out how to have both the card and my mobo's onboard to work at the same time. If you mean you just want to plug speakers into it, then yes, they do work.

This hub isn't for doing that. It's for adding USB slots when your computer's USB slots are filled. I have USB lines from two external drives, a printer, a mouse, and a cooling pad hooked up to my hub. You'll still need to plug your external drives power adaptors into a suge surpressor.

yes 3 of the fans have double power options . the larger 4 pin molex and the smaller 3 pin connectors. One fan is only smaller connector.

You can't. It only has two (right and left) outputs. Nor would it have the power to drive a 2.1 system.

There are jumpers on the board to configure any combination of two active ports. So yes, you can have one of each.

Yes you can. I hope you have a good enough PSU to suffice the power consumption of those babies. A 850w PSU will do nicely!

No , this one can only have 2 fans same speed. If you want separate speeds you need Pwm splitter

Not sure, I only use it indoors with my home theater system to turn on/off cooling fans...I wish I could be of more help.

Yes, but you should not use a CPU fan connection. Use one of the other motherboard fan connections. There are usually three of these available to power case fans. Piggyback if you run out.

I use this fan for my av receiver. Cramped space in my entertainment center and this keeps it extremely cool. Plus, it plugs directly into the USB port on the receiver. I recommend it... Trust me

No I wired both fans on....it was designedb for one...but I made two work. ..I just put a 20 amp fuse to prevent spikes in voltage

No, it is a mono amp... I suppose you could run them in series rather than separate lines and it should power both.
