Hi!

Q1 - I would like to know if the Corsair H70 will fit on a Asus P8P67 Deluxe motherboard.

Q2 - But most important if it's safe to put both of the ''120mm'' fans in one 3-pin fan connector on
the motherboard - or if it's more safe and simple to put the two fans in separate 3-pin connector?

Thanks in advance

Here is a nice review on the H70: http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/corsair_h70/

Answer #1 - The H70 is supposed to fit all Intel as well as AMD sockets. Verify this from Asus as well as from Corsair.

Answer #2 - One fan must be in the CPU fan header (or else the motherboard may not POST) - I would plug in the 2nd. fan into a separate fan header. This will give you better control. Another option is to directly connect the 2nd. fan to a Molex connector powered by the PSU (no speed control - full speed all the time).
