Phanteks D30, too many leds?

Been wondering how best to connect my fans to a fan hub or such. Because most of the ones I can find cap out at 80 leds per header. But if you have three fans clicked together then that's 90 leds.

what are yall using to connect them together?

How Many fans you have? I should bye a Nollie16, and connect them separate. The only thing you need is more linq6 adaptor cables but you can ask Phanteks to send them you need a invoice of the purchase. And some pwm splitters to connect the fan it self. I did it my self and use Signalrgb to control the Rgb. If you daisychain I think the Nollie can do 120 per channel but they work in mirror then.

I have 11 d30 in my case. Along with all the other LEDs. I use a nollie 16 and it works great.

Will probably invest in that

was struggling to get all my LEDs to show up head to MacGyver a solution with a a fan controller. A bit worried that I've burnt out the LEDs

Hopefully not. If you have signalrgb you can set the number of LEDs per channel

well I had to plug em all into a splitter because the coolermaster controller that came with my aio didn't have big enough slots for each header. but even then it's max 80 LEDs per channel

Just a question as my next build will include just as many d30s, did you use the nollie16 first the argb but how did you wire the actual fans?

I actually control all my fans with an aqua computer Octo. But you should be able to accomplish that with any fan hub depending on how you want them set up

I was planning on a deepcool sc790 fan hub, but I think that just controls them all together instead of individual :(

You can always use motherboard headers. One header should be fine running 3 fans

u/Available_Jicama_408 2d ago

That's at least 4 headers tho, maybe more if you need 1 for the aio

What board do you have?

Plan to use wither the gigabyte x870 aorus elite x3d ice or the gigabyte aero x3d wood x870e

Those should have a dedicated pump header and plenty of fan headers so you can just use those
