Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to properly install and connect your Wisoqu ARGB PWM Fan Hub:
- Prepare Your System:
Before installation, ensure your computer is powered off and unplugged from the wall outlet. Open your PC case to access the motherboard and internal components. Important: Verify that your motherboard supports 5V Addressable RGB (ARGB) lighting. This hub is not compatible with 12V RGB headers.
- Mount the Fan Hub:
The hub features a strong magnetic design. Locate a suitable metal surface inside your PC case (e.g., chassis, PSU shroud) and firmly attach the hub. This allows for flexible placement and helps with cable management.

- Connect Power:
Connect the SATA power cable from your power supply unit (PSU) to the SATA power interface on the fan hub. Ensure a secure connection. Caution: Do not connect the hub to any other power interface to avoid damage.
- Connect Fans (PWM):
Connect your 4-pin PWM fans to the "FAN1" through "FAN10" ports on the hub. The red port (FAN1) is designated for the temperature control fan, typically connected to your CPU fan header on the motherboard via the included temperature control signal cable for optimal performance and speed synchronization.
- Connect ARGB Devices:
Connect your 3-pin 5V ARGB devices (e.g., ARGB fans, LED strips) to the "RGB1" through "RGB10" ports on the hub. Use the included Motherboard ARGB Signal Cable to connect the hub's ARGB input to your motherboard's 5V 3-pin ARGB header.

- Cable Management:
Once all connections are made, organize your cables to ensure proper airflow and a tidy build. Close your PC case.
Operating Instructions
After successful installation, the Wisoqu ARGB PWM Fan Hub operates by receiving signals from your motherboard.
- Fan Speed Control: Fan speeds are controlled via your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or dedicated fan control software (e.g., ASUS Fan Xpert, MSI Dragon Center, Gigabyte SIV). Ensure the temperature control signal cable is connected to the CPU_FAN header for accurate temperature-based fan speed adjustments.
- ARGB Lighting Control: ARGB lighting effects are synchronized and controlled through your motherboard's ARGB software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync). The hub acts as an expander, allowing all connected ARGB devices to display the same lighting patterns as dictated by your motherboard.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your fan hub:
- Dust Removal: Periodically inspect the hub and connected components for dust buildup. Use compressed air to gently clean the hub and its ports.
- Cable Integrity: Ensure all cables remain securely connected and are not pinched or damaged.
- Environmental Conditions: Operate the hub within a dry, well-ventilated environment to prevent overheating and moisture damage.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Wisoqu ARGB PWM Fan Hub, consider the following:
- Fans Not Spinning/ARGB Not Lighting Up:
- Check all power connections, especially the SATA power cable from the PSU to the hub.
- Ensure the motherboard ARGB signal cable is correctly connected to a 5V 3-pin ARGB header on your motherboard, not a 12V RGB header.
- Verify that individual fans and ARGB devices are securely plugged into the hub.
- Confirm that your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or software are configured to control the fan headers and ARGB lighting.
- Incorrect Fan Speeds:
- Ensure the temperature control signal cable is connected from the hub to your motherboard's CPU_FAN header.
- Check your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings for fan curve configurations.
- ARGB Lighting Not Synchronized:
- Confirm that your motherboard's ARGB software is running and correctly detecting the ARGB header.
- Ensure all ARGB devices are 5V 3-pin compatible.
- Hub Not Detected by Motherboard:
- The hub itself does not require direct detection as a separate device; it acts as a splitter. Fan and ARGB control is managed through the motherboard headers it connects to.
