Hello,
I'm not happy with the noise level of my main computer so I am thinking of rebuilding it in a Fractal Design Define R4 (no window). I want to use a Corsair H100i with Noctua 120 mm fans (I forgot the model but its the good ones) replacing the stock corsair fans. I also want two more case fans for a total of 4 fans.
The Define R4 has a built in fan controller for up to 3 fans so I am considering using a y-splitter on two of them. Is there a downside to having a y-splitter on a fan controller? I have used them on the motherboard connectors before but I have never tried that with a fan controller. Will there be a difference in RPM between the fans on the splitter and the fans with their own connectors?
Alternatively, the H100i can control 4 fans with software but I really like the switch on the Fractal case.
Cheers,
Tom
