If I use these splitters, will my computer detect my fans as 2 separate fans or one fan?

No it just lets you connect multiply fans to 1 usb header. They work well it is usually needed if you have lots of fans but only a few usb fan connect spots on your mother board. Note fan speeds are controlled by cpu load or fan controller on some later cpu chips. The 2 fans connected to this will run at the same speed.

Mine came in with wires broken on one of the leads. The package is sealed in such a way that it can be opened and resealed. Wasn't worth the effort to return it.

One Fan. the PWM splitter only has one of the two connectors connected to the 'signal' of the pwm fan, so if both of your fans are the same, they will be running nearly identical speeds, but you can't control them separately.

One fan. Furthermore, any PWM splitter is only going to be seen by your motherboard as one fan as only one of the connectors will be wired with an RPM wire, while all will have GND, +V, and the sense wire to control fan speeds. Any non-PWM(voltage controlled) splitter will only contain RPM on one fan and GND/+V. If you want to see individual fan speeds you will need to use individual ports on your motherboard or fan controller.

Yes, the led power is integrated into the fans, the pwm only relates to the rpm of the fans. I've run splitters with 3 & 4 fans at a time & all leds work just fine.

This motherboard has 3 fan headers: CPUFAN, SYSFAN1 and SYSFAN2. SYSFAN1 is 4 pin and SYSFAN2 is 3 You'd need the appropriate splitter cable to connect five fans.

Nope, but you could use a "Silverstone Tek Sleeved PWM Fan Splitter Cable" to connect both fans t the motherboard header.

Probably yes, I'm using one fan because the other one won't allow install the ram in the first slot for 1 or 2 mm, I'm using gigabyte motherboard.

Yes, if they both have the same code set in the fan & remote. Now you may run into a problem where the fans are close enough that the remote will operate both fans at the same time.

If the fans are 4 pin molex yes but you will need a splitter if you have more than 1 fan. If the fans are 3 pin your going to need a 4 pin to 3 pin splitter. As for the fan controller yes you can use this to power it as long as it has a 4 pin molex connector!

I wondered the same thing but you only need to use 1 to operate the fans. Silly design IMO but I love it and it works.

Yes, with splitters you can run all 8! I currently have this set up powering 2 Swiftech pumps, 4 sets of cold cathodes an 6 120mm fans in an XSPC case holding my liquid cooled Xbox 360. So yes you can use this an run all 8 fans &#128526;

You can plug in 3-pin fans in to this and use it to plug 2 fans (2 3-pins or even 1 3-pin + 1 4-pin) in to one motherboard header. You just wont have variable fan speed because the 4th pin is responsible for modulating it.

I'm sure with the right tools you can certainly separate these.unless you are wanting to remove the fans and use them as something other than a g-rated fan, I wouldn't recommend it. This product is clearly intended to be a dual fan installation. Given that, I can say that this fan is still working for me after more than a year of continuous operation.

I use the PWM splitter from Swiftech with these fans and haven't experienced any issues. I am running 5 or so of these fans for my water cooling setup.

While I am not sure about that, I have used it with two. Funny I should get a question about this today as the fan on mine is giving out already and making a horrid noise and keeps crashing my machine :/

Yes it's a switch not splitter so only 1 source will go through at a time and it shouldn't matter if both are on.

That is an option, but the cooler works well with the two fans. It is the best cooler I have purchased. This is my forth. Good Luck

I don't believe that one unit this size would do it. Two probably would. I don't know if one of the larger fans would be sufficient. I hope this helps.

Yes you will need to use a splitter or fan controller. A fan controller is convenient because you can tweak the speed of each fan. On the other hand if you want to keep things simple you can get a splitter. You would need a 4 pin PWM splitter if you have a 4 pin PWM fan. What I did in my other case was send the PWM signal to identical fans. This way each fan that is of the same type would be controlled by one PWM signal. You might want to look into that if you have PWM fans.
