Need Help Regarding 3 Pin Splitter

[Avik_b123]

I need a 3-pin fan splitter but I'm confused between 3-pin female to 2x3-pin male and molex to 2x3-pin splitter. So please suggest which one should I go for. Peace.....!!!!!!!

What case and where do you plan to connect it? Are you going to use a motherboard header to run multiple fans, or do you want to drive them directly from the PSU via a Molex connector?

Your fans have female sockets and the motherboard header is a male plug.

I'm going to connect 2x120mm fans(1 for intake and the other is for out-take). I want to which will be best? Should connect it to motherboard or directly from PSU? As I'm going to use a splitter so which one is going to handle the pressure well?

In my build, I connected my fans to the splitter and then to a motherboard header, so I needed a female to two male splitter.

Ok but I just want to know that as I'm connecting 2 fans to a single source, will it be better to connect them direct to PSU instead of motherboard?

What is your motherboard? (Make and model)

It will be fine to connect two fans to one header. It's done all the time.

There is a four pin SYS-FAN header on the board beside the main 24 pin power connector, right next to the CMOS battery. That is where I would plug into. If you have four wire fans, the motherboard can use PWM to control their speed.
