Currently, Im using a ASUS B350 Prime Plus Motherboard in a NZXT S340 Elite Case.
The case comes with 2x 3pin fans (one rear, one top), connected via a splitter to a female molex.
Since I will be using the single molex (peripheral) port on my EVGA SuperNova 650W G3 PSU for my led strips, I would like to connect this 2 x 3 pin fans to a 4 pin header on my motherboard instead via a 4 pin splitter ( 1 to 2 ). My question is , is this safe to do so ? Will the power draw be too overkill for my motherboard to handle? Thanks in advance.
