Question Asus Tuf GT-501 Fans

[Leyneilx20]

I'm interested in buying a Asus Tuf GT-501, I really dig the design and love the space it offers to build in. Plus going for the RGB look this time round since my budget is bigger 😀

My question is how are the front 3 fans connected to the motherboard? I'm curious if its a single connector or 3 individual headers that need 3 ports on the Mobo.

If thats the case, can I get away with using a 3 y split cable to connect them on a single header? Hearing about them potentially pulling more than the header will allow is making me hesitant about the purchase.

Anyone owners out there that can help out?
Thanks in advance!

you can connect each fan individually to the motherboard if it has enough ports, and there is no problem using a spliter
what is your motherboard?

At the time I was concerned as the Mobo I wanted only had 3 headers but I did some research into the new upcoming B550 boards and decided I'd try my luck with those. Thankfully BitWit did an overview of the MSI B550 Tomahawk, with the praise he gave it (admitedly pre-benchmark) and showing off 7 fan headers, I decided to bag me one of those. Future proofing so don't mind the price all too much. 😀

Bought some splitters so I should be able to run 2 fans off one splitter and another on an individual header assuming that would be fine? (not interfering with Aura Sync)

I'm not sure how many amps the Asus TUF Gaming fans pull to stay within the threshold of 1A, apparently they are 1200rpm if that attirbutes to any guidance. Will have to see if I can find anything on that but I did get both a 2-way and 3-way splitter I should be good to go I think

If you have any further info, please let me know!
