Is is okay to split the connections from the mobo chassis fan to 2 case fans, using a 3-pin y-splitter?
Will the settings in the BIOS freak out running 2 fans from one header?
My stuff:
Asus P8Z68-V Pro motherboard.
Antec Three Hundred Case, with all fans (2 front HDD fans are the ones in question).
Linkdepot 3-pin Power Y-cable.
Linkdepot 12" 3-pin fan power extension cable.
AND, can I run a 3-pin case fan from a 4-pin chasis header? This would be for the side panel fan for my case.
The Asus mobo has 6 fan headers total, and I would use them all as follows:
2 x 4-pin CPU Fan headers: running 2 CPU fans in a push pull set up, thru the radiator below.
2 x 3-pin PWR headers: (1) running a RAM fan, and (2) a Antec Kuhler H20 620 Liquid Cooling System pump.
1 x 4-pin Chassis Fan header: running a 3-pin Antec Tri-Cool fan, mounted to the side panel of my case, with the ext.
1 x 3-pin Chassis Fan header: running 2 x Antec Tri-Cool fans, with the above splitter, for the front fans of my case.
This leaves a 140mm Antec Tri-Cool fan, on the top of my case, runing off of a molex connector from the PSU. All Antec case fans can run off the the mobo headers, or molex connectors from the PSU.
Any other set up recommended?
