Is it possible to power more than 5 fans on a single mother board header? I have a 8 way splitter that I want to power most of my case fans and still be able to control their speed. If that isn't recommended is there any possible way to run just a cable for the third pin (PWM) to the splitter since the grounds are tied.
 
Solution
Nope you will burn out the header , Get a fan hub.

Is it also possible to just use my existing splitter which only supplies power and just run a single wire for the pwm to it?
