I only have 4 fan connectors on my motherboard, but my case supports 8 fans, could I get some fan connector splitters off ebay/newegg and just connect the fans to them? Will it fry my motherboard?

Thanks a lot. Also, the fans that my case came with have both those 4-pin connectors and molex connectors, so instead of buying splitters, can I just connect all the fans to each other?

Using a molex won't allow you to control the speed , using a 4 pin fan on a 4 pin header lets you control the speed.

Using the 3 pin splitters they will run a full also.

But they will still work right?
