Hi all

I need opinions off of you guys, do you think the motherboard would be able to cope with 2 fans on the CPU cooler, (hyper tx3) because I want to set up a push pull system where by it has 1 fan on each side, but powering the second one is an issue as my motherboard doesn't have a second 4 pin connector, so I thought splitter cable, but the CPU is something I don't want to cook because the fans die at high speeds due to lack of speed
 
Solution
It's not ideal but you can do it. You'll want to check the power requirements for the fans first - headers are commonly rated at 1A/15W. As long as the fans have a combined draw less than that you should be fine.
