Make and model of the fans you're using in your build? Generally if the fans are your run-of-the0-mill spec fans, they shouldn't be a problem on your motherboard. Make and model of your motherboard?

Yes, I have used the same splitter multiple times in the past successfully.

Thank you for your help.

Motherboards is Asus P8P67. I am going to be connecting them to 4-pin CPU_FAN.
So far I stopped on two fans below:

I am going to be using those fans for cooling CPU radiator. Let me know if you recommend other silent fans.

thank you!

Pulling info off your motherboard manual; the CPU_FAN header supports a maximum of 1A...you should be good to go with that splitter and those fans.

Lutfij is perfectly correct. To add info, the Noctua specs for those fans are max 0.14 A current draw, so two on one header is NO problem.

Yes they would be fine, but man poor choice. The Noctua fans are much better and quieter.

I hear you and from all reviews that I watched on YouTube, Noctua is slightly better than Artic.

That said I don't like brown color of Noctua.

The price difference of 2.7 x kind of made my final decision.

For the record I don't think anybody likes the color, ha.

Regarding the COLOUR of the Noctua's, they have another model line in all-black. This one is similar to what you were considering, but slightly higher air flow and noise

Also there is a similar model with slower max speed (1300 rpm), lower max air flow and noise. You'd have to check the prices on these where you shop.
