Question 3 fans connected to single motherboard header, 2 Kolink, one Arctic P12 is it safe?

[MarkT3001]

I have a Kolink Citadel Mesh case (non RGB version) with the included two front Kolink branded fans connected as slaves to an Akasa 3 way fan spliter with additional SATA cable PSU input power, plugged into a ASUS PRIME A520M-K motherboard fan header with a ARCTIC P12 PWM 120mm fan as the master fan.

Question is will this work mixing two types of fan, the two Kolink ones as 3 pin slaves and the Arctic as the master 4 pin PWM one and is it safe or doesn't it really make a difference?

Your motherboard merely has 2x 4pin fan headers, which ones are the case fans occupying?

You might have trouble with speed reporting and control if all fans on one header are not exactly same. It's more acute with PWM fans, some may not work at all.

You'll notice that your PWM splitter's connectors only have 4 pin on one of the female connector, since it's impossible to have one motherboard header recognize more than one fan running on it. So one of your fans will be reporting telemetry data and the BIOS will manage the speed at which the fans rotate.

The issue with PWM fan splitters like the one you have will mean that 3pin fans will run at full speed since they are being fed with 12v. Would be a good idea to get PWM fans to have them managed off on header. If you have 2x3pin fans then you can use a 3pin fan spitter like this;

As for your thread titles question, you're good to go since the SATA power connector will deliver the power all your fans need without hindrance.
