I have a 3 way pwm splitter and i wanted to know what would happen if i hooked up 2 different kinds of fans to it, 1 Rosewill Hyperborea 120mm and 2 Rosewill Hyperborea 140mm. The splitter is powered so current draw shouldnt be an issue
 
Solution
yes , It will work fine , splitting the input source creates individual lines for each fan so that each draw current as much as it needs.
so would each fan spin proportional to how much current its getting? lets say it were to receive 100% would both spin at their separate max rpms or is it possible that the 120mm fan would get overloaded and burn out
 

each would take current as per its requirement , no one will get burnt as long as the voltage is at 12V. Do keep in mind that devices burn when there is a voltage spike or they are daisy chained to each other and voltage is increased to compensate for the potential drop after each component.
