Hi all,
Newbie builder here. I have a Dell 0NW73C motherboard taken apart from an Dell XPS 8500 and put into a Enthoo Pro. I was told by the manual to connect the 4-pin connector on the PWM hub to the CPU_Fan header on the motherboard, but if I did that then I wouldn't be able to use the 4-pin CPU heatsink that is currently connected to the CPU_Fan header. So I read around and found out about possibly using a Y-splitter and bought this: eBay link
When it finally arrived I quickly found out that one split is 4-pin and the other 3-pin. I thought it would be 4-pin on both splits, turns out I was wrong. So I was wondering if it was safe or even possible to connect my heatsink's 4-pin female connector to the 3 pin male split, the 4-pin female hub connector to the 4-pin male split, and connect the 4 pin female end on the y-splitter to the PWM hub in the case.
