Ideally, don't defeat failure monitoring in the first place. ![]() Tl dr: when defeating failure monitoring, try to make sure that failures are unlikely. (well-made fans with any of those can potentially outlive you.) If you absolutely must split a port, use a powered hub, and use high quality fluid, rifle, or maglev bearing fans, so that they're unlikely to die. ![]() In general, with modern boards coming with so many fan ports, I try to always do 1:1, buying extenders if necessary. Some ASUS boards come with high-amperage fan ports that put out 3A, or 15 watts, which is enough for several smaller fans, but I still avoid simple splitters with those, because that messes up monitoring and proper spool-up and spool-down. Case fan speed control: 1) BIOS (may be some settings here to enable) 2) Download and install the Fan Control software for your EXACT motherboard (see motherboard support. OR, you can, according to Antec's site, run an ARGB cable from the case (somewhere in there) to your motherboards ARGB port then control the lighting through your motherboards software. ![]() Normal fan ports are only 1 amp, so I don't typically like running more than one fan per. The ARCTIC Case Fan Hub is a 10-fold PWM fan distrubutor that draws power from your PCs PSU via a SATA cable. It will act as a standalone ARGB (Addressable RGB) controller for all three fans in conjuntion with the button on the case to cycle through modes. If you use the SATA-powered one, you will know for sure that all the fans will get full voltage and, as Exordium is saying, you won't overload the motherboard port.
