One of my rigs is running hot and I'm trying to get more air flow by adding fans in front to pull heat away from the rig. The fans have Molex connectors. Is there a hub that connects all of these together? Should I get the Corsair Commander Pro? Are those Molex male pins in the image?

why so expensive? Take this for 1.5€ for 8 fans. You can change the speed from 0 to low and fullspeed. Work fine for me for the last 3 years.

Fans will not cool good if room temperature is above 30C.
Best easy cooling is air conditioner if you have cheap electricity of course.

I find air conditioner to cool a mining room a little bit strange.  Cheesy A good air ventilation is the better choice.
