[SOLVED] Should I buy this splitter ?

[haidar7]

Hi all

My case: Lian Li O11 Dynamic XL.
MB: Asus crosshair VIII Dark Hero

My case has 2 (3.2 Gen 1) cables.
But my MB has only 1 (3.2 Gen 1 header). So i am losing many front panel ports.

I saw some solutions with connecting card on PCIe, but i did not like.

Now, i am considering buying this Y splitter. However, not sure about the quality of this part, i dont want to buy it today, then it is broken tomorrow. Also, i have not bought anything from this website, so not sure how trustworthy it is

What do you think? Is such product recommended for my issue? Or betters options are available?

Thanks

Unless you are in a real need of those front panel case ports, I would avoid each and every splitter out there.

Honestly it is not that important. I have plenty of ports. I just thought if there is a good solution, then why not . But i kinda know what u sayin. Maybe i should just avoid it too

Thanks for your reply

No problem. The only splitters I use on my builds are case fan ones, and always test them outside the build with a test PSU I have to check everything is working ok.
