y splitter connecte to another y splitter,

[tiagocosta90]

I have two fans in a y splitter conected to a 3 pin header on my asus p6tse , can i connect a second splitter and add one more fan?

I wouldn't suggest it. That fan port was only designed to run 1 fan and you are already running 2. If you want to add more I suggest connecting it straight to the psu with a molex adapter or buying a fan controller.

I have seen splitters for 6 i thought it would work.

You can try but you might run into power issues, that one port on your motherboard might not be able to power 4 fans.

I agree with bignastyid. Most mobo fan ports can supply no more than 2 fans. The limit is the heavy current required to start the fans up. You may have seen "splitters" for 4, 6 or 8 fans, BUT these are NOT simple splitters. They are hubs that MUST work using only 4-pin fans and a 4-pin fan port on the mobo. They actually draw power for their fans from a heavier supply line directly from the PSU, and then share a different control signal (the PWM signal) from the mobo port to all the fans on the hub.
