How would I connect this to an Asus Maximus VI Hero Motherboard so I could control all the fans?

I believe you would power the fan splitter with the 3 pin power adapter plugged into one of your motherboards fan headers. However, with this configuration all fans connected to the splitter would receive the same amount of volts.

No these will only plug into your motherboard. You'll have to buy a fan controller or an extra fan plug in, ie one that plugs into your power supply then has several connections for your fans.

This motherboard has 3 fan headers: CPUFAN, SYSFAN1 and SYSFAN2. SYSFAN1 is 4 pin and SYSFAN2 is 3 You'd need the appropriate splitter cable to connect five fans.

These are three-pin fans. You would need to control them through the motherboard or a fan controller.

You have to be able to connect it to a USB header. If you don't have any available on your motherboard there are a variety of expansion cards available to add USB headers. Just make sure you get one with a header, not just external USB ports.

Three pin fans, but they will work with four pin connections. I use mine with and four pin MSI motherboard.

Bob, can you tell me a little bit about what components you are connecting and what you are trying to accomplish?

I don't believe so. The included power cables connect to either a motherboard fan header or a molex cable.

Both of the fans join together to make a normal 4 pin fan connector. Even with a very basic motherboard, I doubt you'd have any trouble.

Your motherboard has 4pin connectors! Those are compatible with 3 OR 4 pin fans which is great! You'll be able to plug them into the slots labelled CPU_FAN, CPU_OPT, SYS_FAN1, SYS_FAN2, SYS_FAN3, on your mobo :)

The fans will connect to the motherboard. They can connect to the psu if you have a molax adapter for the powers supply.

there's a USB plug-in for you to put onto the motherboard to control the fans and LEDs, find the cord on the inside of the case and put it into one of the USB slots on the motherboard.

Yup, it'll connect right up. Edit: I've got mine hooked up to my PSU powering six fans.

All mother board power connects are near the same u will be fine as long as it isn't a server mother board. Which it isnt

You need to connect it to the power supply on your motherboard, look for the proper connection of the wires coming from the fan. Hope this is the problem.

I hooked the fan up to a molex plug but I don't see why it wouldn't work using the 3 pin connector. My side fan is connected directly to my mobo using the 3 pin connector and works just fine.

Yes, but you should not use a CPU fan connection. Use one of the other motherboard fan connections. There are usually three of these available to power case fans. Piggyback if you run out.
