pretty good for the price, would probably buy again
Since the market is limited on these types of products so I'd probably buy again from them. The value factor is definitely there.To the bad, shipping and handling took about 8 days. I would expect it to be a bit faster with a highly rated Amazon seller. It is unable to support 5 fans at once. The 5th fan appears to get enough power for the LEDs but doesn't spin (I tested the fan it's fine). PWM, like others, doesn't appear to be working. Luckily since this isn't working, I unplugged it and used it to power my 5th fan :). Fans run at full speed but the sound level is very bearable for me (equivalent to a volume level 1 on your iPhone).The clips seems decent to me. You can tug lightly on them and it wont come undone. It doesn't have a lock/unlock mechanism. I would pay extra for one? Probably not.Overall, again I would probably buy again since the market is so limited.It would be nice to have an option for expediated shipping. I'm sure most buyers wouldn't mind spending a $1-2 more to make this happen in 2-3 days vs 7+.

Essential for Minimalistic Builds
This is my second time using one of these and third time I've purchased it.I haven't experienced any issues with RPMs reading incorrectly or fans not working as expected.Motherboards are including more and more fan headers these days but if you want the absolute cleanest build possible, using one of these is necessary.It does create a rats nest on the backside of the motherboard plate but hopefully you're not looking at that.The sleeving could be done better, the heatshrink tubing is only okay and doesn't extend into the connectors so you do see a bit of exposed wires. Most of the connectors have two sleeved wires going into them and it might be good if these two were also tied together with heatshrink tubing so that they can't pull away from each other or the connector. I'd rather see the sleeving go all the way into the connectors and glued in place so no heatshrink is used.Another thing is that this uses a standard 4pin Molex connector which are getting rare these days. They should start including a female SATA power to 4pin Molex adapter or ditch the 4pin Molex all together and just update it with a SATA power connector.Wiring length is also totally ample even for builds that require perfectionist wire routing/bundling.I will continue to use this adapter in all builds and upgrades I do. Instead of five fans being connected at random places around the motherboard, wires hanging around going from one place to the next, you can use one of these and have a single visible fan wire at the edge of the board being routed through whatever access you have to the backside of the motherboard plate.

Fairly easy to set up, great if you own a Grid+ V3
This adapter is a good solution not only for those who want more connections but also have a power issue. My Grid+ V3 only supplies 5w worth of power on a channel, and my Noctua IPPCs take more than that. Someone over on the NZXT subreddit recommended these bad boys since he was having the same issue with his NZXT smart device. These solved my problem, all of my fans can hit their max RPM without ocp kicking in and turning the hub off. They also look nice thanks to the braiding, not that it matters much. Two small complaints, one, the fan connectors don't hold the fans in very well, although this isn't a big issue since I don't move my desktop around. And second, I didn't realize one of the fans had to be on the 4 pin connector for it to work, so for a half hour my V3 wouldn't control any of the fans until I tried plugging a fan into the 4 pin. This ought to be labeled on the package (it says the 4 pin is for the CPU fan, nothing about it being necessary), but I ought to have known better honestly. But yeah, for the most part, great product. Would recommend.Edit: the molex pins have a tendency to slip out of their mounts. 1 star off for that. Encountered during a rewire of my rig. Still recommend.

Control five PWM fans with one 4pin header. Daisy chain to control more. 12v rail is direct, not from mobo.
These cables are legit! Please don't stop selling them. I have a single 4pin for the CPU on my mobo and then several 3pins for mobo headers. I have no control over the mobo fans in this bios, only the CPU, so the only way to control any fans by temperature automatically is by the one 4pin. I can daisy chain these PWM fan splitters to run a dual pump water cooled setup, four 4pin fans on push/pull with the radiator, two more 120mm intake fans, a 140mm front fan, and my crazy 230mm side fan. That's eight fans and two pumps with the one CPU header, completely throttled by temps. I could only find 4 ways splits before, and now I can't find them to replace a bad one, but these five way splits are better!If I could change anything, it'd be to sleeve the entire cable sets together a bit. Just for cable management, but that's probably just because I have three of these in the back and a bunch of harddrives.

Its okay
Kind of a cheaply made product. I have not tested to see how it works yet. Still finishing my liquid cooling setup but so far the heat shrink has detatched and the pins are very loose. I had to move the wire to move the pins to get them to sit properly in the connectors. If it works I will pump up to 3 stars but the quality is very cheap.

The cables are awesome! The cables could have been braided end-to-end but ...
The cables are awesome! The cables could have been braided end-to-end but I wouldn't not complain because it's soo cheap. I use this cable on a H105 and Twin AF120. Would recommend this to enthusiasts out there!As for the seller,Can't complain about their customer support. I had to cancel my previous order because I had to change my shipping info. After 3 hours,my order was successfully canceled and I re-ordered.

Did what it says on the box
Seems to work as expected. Though even though I followed the setup procedure on the bag the fans just seem to run nonstop at the highest setting. Otherwise it's fine.
