I am planning to build a PC that includes 6 fans, 2 for the radiator and 4 for the rest of the system. I was looking at the NZXT fan controller but it says it only can support 5 fans, however I was wondering if I connected a fan splitter into one of the five cables (let's say the 5th fan controller), in theory, would the controls of the fifth fan be able to support two fans (e.g. I change the rpm to 2000 of the fifth fan on the touch screen panel but in reality both fans will change their rpm)? Sorry if this is a stupid question but any help would be appreciated.

Yeah if they are pwm splitter it will work just check the max voltage of the sentry and the voltage those fans may add.

Would it have to be a PWM splitter because the fans I'm buying use 3 pin connectors or does that even matter?
