Cable splitter .....

1. Determine the fan header amp rating
2. Determine what fans ya like and their amp rating and multiply by 2 for 2 fans

For 1200 rpm, stay under 70% of the header amp rating to allow for inrush current
For 1800 rpm, stay under 50% of the header amp rating to allow for inrush current

Get one of these

what is amp rating?

 

[JackNaylorPE]

how many amps the header can handle
how many amps the fan uses

For example, on specs tab

http://www.phanteks.com/PH-F140XP.html

Speed (RPM) - 600-1200 ± 250 rpm
Max Airflow - 40.9 - 85.19 CFM
Acoustical Noise - 15.22 - 19 dB (A)
Static Pressure - 0.39-1.52mm H2O
Speed (RPM) with QSA
Input Current - 0.14 A
Rate Voltage - DC 12V
Input Power - 1.8 W

Prolly gonna have to ask TS at MoBo Manufacturer for header rating but I'd bet it's 1 amp
