fan diverter : any experiences ?

[VJ]

Has anyone got experiences (or opinions) on this thing:

It basically allows you to connect up to 4 fans on a singel fan-connector, but with the added advantage that the RPM sensing represents the slowest fan. Seems interesting to me if you don't have enough fanheaders, but want to monitor a couple of identical fans...

I suspect for best performance, it ought to be used with:

(to get the voltages from the PSU)

So, any comments ?

Yeah, if you try connecting multiple fans to the same mobo header, you're going to cook it.

Yes, that is what I figured (and where the splitter would come in). The idea is to connect the diverter to the splitter, so that the power from the fans comes from the PSU directly (not from the mainboard); yet that the slowest RPM of the connected fans is sent to the mainboard...

But I just can't seem to find comments on the diverter... or the splitter....

Yeah, sorry, never used one of those.
