4-Knob 8-Channel Fan Controller
This CAFELE hub adds manual speed control for up to eight case fans using four physical knobs. It draws power from a standard SATA connector and fits into a rear PCI bracket slot. Builders who want tactile, per-group fan adjustment without software will find it straightforward to install.
SATA-Powered PCI Bracket Hub
The unit accepts both 4-pin PWM and 3-pin voltage fans across its eight channels, distributing up to 72W at 12V. Mounting in a PCI opening keeps the controller accessible while leaving internal drive bays and motherboard headers free for other components. A single SATA power cable from the PSU supplies all connected fans.
Upgrade from Fixed-Speed or Header-Limited Setups
Replacing direct motherboard headers or fixed-voltage adapters, this controller lets you lower fan speeds for quieter idle operation and raise them under load without BIOS curves. It is not suited for builders who need automatic temperature-based curves, software monitoring, or more than four independent speed zones.

Questions about this item
How many fans can I run at the 72 W limit before the controller hits its ceiling?
The hub supports up to eight fans sharing the 72 W budget, so the combined draw of all connected fans must stay within that figure.
Does the unit add noticeable heat or noise when it powers eight fans continuously from the SATA connection?
The controller itself uses a low-loss circuit and produces minimal extra heat; any audible noise will come from the fans you attach, not the hub.
My case only has a spare SATA power lead — is that the only cable I need to make this work?
Yes, a single SATA power connector from your PSU feeds the board, and each fan plugs into the 4-pin headers (3-pin fans fit too).
