In a case with fan bays in different areas, each Amici 5GT still needs its own PWM cable routed to a header. The lighting may chain, the speed cables will not. That changes the routing plan considerably compared with a single continuous row.
Not every case arranges its fan positions in one tidy row. Where bays sit in separate areas, front, top, and rear each running their own space, a pack of Amici 5GT fans needs a different kind of routing plan from a build with all its positions side by side.
In a case with fan bays spread across different areas, each Amici 5GT still needs its own 4-pin PWM cable routed individually to a fan header, since that cable never chains between fans on this model. The 5V 3-pin ARGB lead can link across three to four fans, but only where they are close enough for the cable to physically reach, which separated bays may not allow.
In a single continuous row, a cluster of PWM cables can often leave the fan area together and reach nearby headers as a group. In a case with bays in separate zones, each fan's PWM lead has to make its own way to a header from wherever that fan sits, which usually means longer or more individually routed cable runs than a straightforward row would need.
Linking ARGB leads across three to four fans remains possible in principle, but the practical limit becomes cable reach rather than the stated fan count. Two fans in the front of a case and one in the rear may simply be too far apart for the supplied leads to bridge, even though three fans is comfortably within what the product supports on paper.
Fan headers on the motherboard, or a splitter positioned somewhere central enough for several routes to reach conveniently, are the usual answer. Placing a splitter near the middle of a case with scattered fan positions can shorten the total cable run compared with routing every PWM lead all the way to the motherboard individually.
A physically joined row of fans assumes the positions sit next to each other, which is exactly what a separated-bay case does not offer. The Amici 5GT's independent-fan design, where each unit has its own complete set of cables, is the better fit here precisely because nothing about it requires adjacency.
Mapping each fan position to the header it will use, before any fan is physically mounted, avoids discovering mid-build that a cable is too short or that a splitter needs to sit somewhere different from where it was planned. A case with separated bays rewards this kind of planning more than a simple row does, since the routes are less obvious at a glance.
Extension leads for both PWM and ARGB connections exist for exactly this situation, and reaching for one is often simpler than trying to force a route that the standard cable length cannot comfortably cover. Planning shorter, more direct routes first is usually the better starting point, with extensions kept as the answer once a specific gap proves too long. Evetech's case accessories range covers extension leads and splitters, and case fans lists the current Amici 5GT options for filling scattered bays.
Each fan's PWM lead has to individually reach a header from wherever it sits, rather than a cluster of cables leaving one area together as they might in a single row.
Within the stated three-to-four fan range, yes, but the leads have to physically reach between the fans, which separated positions may not always allow.
Somewhere central enough that several PWM routes can reach it without excessive extra cable, which shortens the overall routing compared with running each lead to the motherboard directly.
No, an interlocked design assumes adjacent positions, so a scattered layout favours fans like these that remain fully independent.
Sometimes. Extension leads exist for both cable types, though planning the shortest sensible routes first is usually simpler than adding length everywhere.
No, each fan still delivers the same up to 61.5 CFM and up to 1800 RPM regardless of where in the case it sits.
Before, ideally. Mapping headers to positions ahead of time avoids discovering cable or splitter placement problems partway through the install.
