Hi, I would like to know if Arctic P12 Max fans can be connected in series, so that only one cable is used for control and power, or do I have to connect them one by one? Thanks

Arctic P12 Max fans can be connected together to use one cable for control and power, but there are some limitations to consider.
- You can use a PWM splitter cable, such as the ARCTIC PST Cable Rev. 2, to connect up to 4 fans to a single motherboard header. This cable transmits the PWM signal synchronously to all connected fans.
- However, it is advisable to limit the number of fans per header to 3, as the current can be limited to 1.0 A per header. To control more than 3 fans from one header, it is recommended to use the ARCTIC Case Fan Hub, which uses external SATA power supply to avoid header current limitations.
So, yes, the P12 Max fans can be connected in series using a PWM splitter cable, but it is important to respect the current limitations to avoid operating problems.
