Need help with case fans and fan hubs

[ryxn100x]

Hi, I’m new to doing stuff to my PC; I have a prebuilt and wanna add more case fans. I have one 4-pin fan header on my motherboard, and my RGB exhaust fan is currently connected to it, so I’m going to unplug it and plug a fan hub into it to add some regular black 4-pin fans. i was wondering if there’s a option for a fan hub that just uses the 4 pin connector and no power connection to the PSU, are these types of hubs safe or should i just take the time to get one and connect it to my PSU via sata connection. That is the type of fan hub I was looking at; let me know if this one’s OK because this would make my life so much easier. one more thing to note is the RGB fan i have right now is connected via the 4 pin im going to use as well it is connected to the psu for the rgb is there gonna be any problems with this type of set up let me know, Thanks.

You’ll be trying to add 3, 4, or 5 fans to a motherboard header only designed for 1.
So while it may work, I’d myself not be going down that path.
While each fan wouldn’t draw too many amps, I don’t know how the header port would handle 5!

Personally, I’d do it old school and get a fan splitter that runs off a molex plug from the PSU.
No drama than with under-voltage or current draw.

What is the make/model of the motherboard?
Unless really old, they have had extra header ports for more fans for ages.
