    Question Is it fine for my mother board to have 2 fans in one fan header for each header (3 headers)?

    I want to have 5 fans with 2 pairs of fans each with a fan splitter connected to each fan header on my MB except for one (because it's 5). Will that be fine for my MB, power-wise? sorry if my explanation is bad.

    [SOLVED] Does installing fans help decrease the temps or make it worse on a PC with Solid front panels?

    My PC case has a solid front panel and I wish to install 2 fans ( 1 inlet and 1 exhaust) to decrease the temperatures. I know front panels are supposed to have mesh to increase air flow but mine is solid. Does installing the 2 fans help decrease the temps or make it worse?
