Question Using a splitter to connect case fans ?

[Frigozzo]

Hello i have a Lian Li Lancool 2 Mesh RGB, i used a splitter to connect the 3 front fans to one header on the motherboard for chassis fans. Can this cause problems? I used the splitter from my old NZXT cooler (Kaken x53). The motherboard is a Rog Strix X570-E Gaming.
The 3 front fans came with the case so they are the same type, same speed etc.

Might want to include an image of the splitter you're using and the ends of the connectors for the fans in your case+the header you've plugged on the motherboard.

You should be fine to have 3 fans on one header though if the fans are 3pin and the splitters are 4pin, then you'll have the fans run at full blast.

Yeah the fans have 3 pins connectors, while the splitter is a 4 pin, i don't mind if they run at almost full speed, cause they are going around 1100 rpm.
It was the only splitter i had, that's why i used it.
I just want to know if there is any chance of burning the fans or anything else

The key is the amperage that the motherboard header supports.
Very high speed fans might be a problem, but3 normal 1000rpm fans is probably ok.

if there 3 pin connectors just get a molex to 3 pin fan since 3 pin cant be controlled anyway.

most fan connectors can usually handle 1A of power which is about 12 watts of power. look at the back of the fans to see what is written on the sticker

it will say something like 12v 0.5 a or something on those lines
