Can I Plug In 3 Fans Into 1 Header Using a Splitter?

Requesterofhelp · Jan 24, 2017

Hi! I was wondering if you could help me to plan my build. I have this motherboard and it only has 1 fan header so I was wondering if I could just use this splitter to plug in these fans and the one that comes with the case.All the fans including the one that comes with the case are 4 pin and I was wondering if it would be good to plug them in to the splitter that goes into the single header.If not what would be a good way to power all those fans? Thank you for all your help everyone!

Im seeing two SYS_FAN headers on that board (one by the CPU header and one by the PCIe lane)

Sorry I didn't see that and people were saying there were only one do you think it would be a good idea to use a y splitter?

A splitter (or hub) would be a viable option.
Another would be to use a molex adapter for the included case fan.

What would you recommend I do? I heard if you use molex it runs one full power all the time.

Well, if you are using it as intake ideally it would be nice to run at 100%. Thats how I have my two front fans wired up.
If you think the noise would be an issue a splitter would still work just fine (though I would recommend a Y splitter, not a strip)

Thank you for your help! It really helped me out. What cable or adapter do you recommend I use?

Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N0XQ7XC?psc=1
Though you may have to shop around if you dont want the add on item.
