[SOLVED] Can I plug a fan hub into the "CPU FAN" header?

I am a big noob with computers so forgive me for possibly asking a dumb question. I recently bought a pre-built gaming desktop (Asus ROG G15CS) and noticed there are only two fan headers on the motherboard (Asus G15CS board). The "CPU FAN" header, and the "CHA FAN" header for a case fan. I want to install 3 additional fans inside of the case, so since there are only two fan headers, I was wondering "would I be able to buy a fan hub and plug it into the "CPU FAN" header then plug the CPU fan into the fan hub?" Hope this wasn't confusing to understand. Essentially I just want to know if I can plug a fan hub into the CPU FAN header.

Do not attach anything else to the CPU fan connector except the CPU fan.

You use more on the chassis fan -- as long as you do not exceed the current limit on the chassis fan connector, so if it is 1A then it can handle 4 x .25A fans. Just check the specs, but the answer is usually yes -- I have three fans on most of my builds chassis fan connectors.
