I have an Asus X99-AII and I used all of the fan ports on it with one fan left. Can I just buy an adapter that splits one port into two? Link: https://www.amazon.com/SilverStone-System-Cables-Black-CPF04/dp/B00B46XKKQ/

Thanks a lot,

if you need to connect a extra fan with 4 pins connector, a y splitter from amazon will do just fine, converts one connector into two fans connected, works very well

also you can use a fan hub

both options will work very well, but the hub lets you connect all the fans in one unit so only is required to control sys_fan values, helps with cable management
