hello my english is not good.

my question is that i bought a fan. and i only have one 3 pin cha-fan connector on my motherboard and its already used for another case fan. and i really want to get the one i bought to work im thinking of buying an 3 pin y splitter and connecting it to the only 3 pin cha-fan connector i have. it will be 2 fans running on a 3 pin cha-fan connector. if it works will they be able to go max rpm?
 
Solution
Yes it would work, just avoid using more than 2. I've read somewhere that the voltage there WILL NOT be enough if you put about 4 fans, because a case fan needs a higher voltage on "startup". So 2 would be safe.
