The Akasa Flexa FP5H is designed for PC builders and enthusiasts who need to expand their cooling capacity by powering multiple fans from a single motherboard header. It provides the essential benefit of synchronized fan control and organized internal airflow, though users must be careful not to exceed the maximum power output rating of their specific motherboard header when connecting multiple high-amperage fans.

While it is designed for 4-pin PWM fans, it can physically connect 3-pin fans, but they will run at full speed without PWM speed control.
Yes, but it is recommended to use fans with similar power requirements to ensure consistent performance across the group.
No, the motherboard can only read the RPM signal from one fan at a time. The other fans will be controlled via the PWM signal but will not report individual speeds.
The splitter supports a total combined output of 2A at 12V.
The cable is 300mm (0.3m) long, which is typically sufficient for mid-tower cases, but may require extensions for very large chassis.
Ensure the motherboard BIOS setting for the connected header is set to PWM mode rather than Voltage or DC mode.
Check the connections on the splitter and ensure the fan pins are aligned correctly with the 4-pin header.
The motherboard may not detect a signal because the splitter combines multiple signals; ensure at least one high-quality fan is connected to the master port if required.
Installation is straightforward: connect the 4-pin female end to your motherboard's dedicated fan header and attach your PWM fans to the five 4-pin male outputs. Always verify the total amperage of your connected fans does not exceed the motherboard's header limit (typically 1A, though some go up to 2A). Ensure all connections are pushed in firmly to maintain electrical contact. For care, keep the hub away from liquid, avoid sharp bends in the sleeved wiring, and use the included adhesive tape on a clean, dry surface to prevent it from shifting during operation.
