I bought a AB350N-GAMING WIFI motherboard from Gigabyte. I need to power three case fans (two FD GP14 and one FD GP12). They are all 3-pin fans.
My motherboard only has two fan headers - one dedicated to the CPU and one system header. The headers are hybrid (they support both PWM and voltage control). I bought a PWM three-way splitter to use (http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=n82e16812162059).
My fans are fairly low power (0.2A each) so the header should power them fine. I wondered gow their speed would be controlled, though. PWM splitters have four pins on the first lead, but only three in the next leads, and a 3-pin fan connector will only plug into 2 of those pins. Will the 2nd and 3rd fan even run? Will they be at 100% all the time? What about the 1st fan?
Thanks.
