ASRock Extreme 6 Z97 has the following:
2 x CPU Fan Connectors (1 x 4-pin, 1 x 3-pin)
3 x Chassis Fan Connectors (1 x 4-pin, 2 x 3-pin)
1 x Power Fan Connector (3-pin)
I have 19 fans, and am going to grab this unit - http://www.swiftech.com/8-WayPWMsplitter.aspx
My question is, on the above connections, for PWM control, I know I can use the one four pin CPU Fan Connection, but can I use the single four pin chassis connection? I have read the manual and it states I can change the mode of how each fan header works in the BIOS and I assume this means I can change from manual mode to voltage to pwm etc. But, it does not say if I can make the four pin chassis emulate PWM, and even if I can, if it will work identically to the CPU Fan header, as I have read sometimes (on certain M/Bs) only the cpu fan header is truly PWM.
My system is not currently built, so I have no way of testing this in person or I would instead of asking.
Thank you,
