[SOLVED] Need help with fan splitters on motherboard (Y adapter)

[austin199]

Hi, i have an older motherboard and i have only one cpu fan header and one chassis fan header on my motherboard. I do have a splitter for my intake and exhaust fan but i would like to add one more intake fan but that would require that i buy a 4 pin Y adapter that has a 4 pin female for the motherboard and 3 and 4 pin male connectors on the other end to connect the fans to.

Here is the link to the product -

Will my motherboard be alright if i also use a splitter on the cpu fan connector? The adapter in the link above is a 4 pin female, to a 3 pin and a 4 pin. So i would just plug the cpu cooler into the 4 pin and the additional case fan to the 3 pin. Will this hurt any components or will it be alright to run two fan splitters?

This link below is to the pictures of my motherboard and fan connections if you would like to see them.

Thank you for your time.

I would never have guessed a question about a fan power cable splitter could go on for so long!!!

Correct.

Alright so i will double check what my cpu fan rpm's are and then find a certain fan that has the correct rpm range and then they will all spin in a happy uniform way.

Thank you for all of the help. Im trying to learn as i go, this is my first pc build if it isnt obvious already lol. If i have any further questions i will probably private message you instead of making an entire new thread if that would be alright with you. You seem to really know your stuff.

I hardly ever watch my PM or answer on it... But you can try.
I would normaly advice one to post a new thread also by the simple fact that there are several days I am not by the computer and it can then take some time before I answer.
