I'm putting my xps mobo in a new case with new 750wpsu is it safe to use 4 fans on the only 2 mobo fan ports with splitters? And my mobo is OKWVT8.



I bought the stuff for tower, psu, fans, and those fans cords ill update as soon as I get it and put it together and test it.

In all likelihood it'll work. If it was any other motherboard, I'd be more confident. However, Dell has bespoke motherboards, and it's not always clear what cost-cutting measures they employ in the design thereof. Most fans, if memory serves use around .75W-1.5W power and the typical motherboard circuit can support two fans per header.
