Recently i upgraded my case to a Corsair 4000D airflow and bought an additional fan thinking my mobo supported another fan (should have checked). Turns out i didnt and friend suggested getting a Y splitter and all will be fine. So the additional fan i added to the bottom on the front panel paired with the middle one of 3 in total with thinking as its right new bottom blowing on spare cables left used and and into PSU shroud. So the fans im using are 6x LL120 Corsair fans in total, 1 blowing out back (on rad 120mm rad H60), 2 blowing out through the top and sucking x3 in front panel. The fans operating voltage according to corsair website are 7V - 13.2V and Power Draw 0.3a. The mobo im using right now is the MSI Z270 Gaming Plus. I just wanted to make sure if this was safe to carry on with the splitter im using while the RGB part is plugged into the LED hub as they should be.
Now the thing is i have just purchased a 5600x and changing the mobo to which i think i was going to go for the ASUS B550-f Strix, now if im seeing right that i may also be down another further fan header? Is it safe to do another Y splitter or bite the bullet and buy Corsair Commander Pro as i also have LED strips in my build.
So to sum it up is it safe with current system to carry on and also with upgrade to do same again with splitter? Hope this comes across ok and understandable in what im trying to say?
