I am installing three new 4 pin PWM case fans. Can I daisy chain them or does each one have to be connected to a motherboard header?
 
Solution
You can daisy chain via a Y or W splitter - BUT!
You need to know the power specs of those fans; if the combined power draw is higher than what the motherboard's header can provide, you can/will burn it out.
Mobo headers are generally rated for 1A.
