Best Molex hub or splitter for 14x 4-pin LP4 case fans?
Hello I'm building a workstation/server with an ASUS ProArt B850-Creator, a Corsair HX1500i, and seven case fans that use 4-pin Molex (LP4) power connectors. Each fan has two 4-pin Molex connectors. What's the cleanest and safest way to power all 14 fans?…

What's the cleanest and safest way to power all 14 fans? Would you recommend using a Molex fan hub or splitter, or is it better to distribute the load across multiple Molex cables from the PSU. Thanks alot!

Is there a reason why you can't go with 4-pin PWM fans? That would give you speed control as well, whereas Molex fans would just run at full speed being powered directly from the PSU.
