Hey, i have an ASUS H81M-C Micro ATX Motherboard. It comes with only 1 case fan (excluding the cpu fan) connector. Is there a way to have multiple fans on the same connector on the mobo? I've heard of something like a fan splitter thingy and i was wondering if that would work. Also, if it actually works would it be safe to use for a long time? (i.e. 2 days straight).

Most newer motherboards can run at least 2 fans on the fan headers.
The exception being the Noctura Industrial fans and the Delta screamers, both High airflow ,high amperage fans.
I have been running a couple splitters for 3 years 24/7/365 on my main folding computer. So yeah they are safe as long as you do not overload the headers with high amp fans.
most case/heatsink fans are arround 1-1.5 amp.
