Solved

Hello everyone,

Since my motherboard does not have enough fan headers and CPU fan headers to connect all my fans, I would like to purchase a fan splitter to connect three fans to a single fan header on the motherboard ( https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B01NCIFBHM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ). Is there a risk for my motherboard since it will have to supply three times more current to a single fan header to power three fans?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

    Hi,

    Otherwise, you can connect the fans using Molex to your power supply.

    Or use a multi-fan case powered by Molex

    Or even consider a fan controller...

      But all the fans in my case are normally powered by 4 pins and not by Molex connectors? Unless there are adapters in my case or with my power supply.

        In that case, rheobus.

        It will allow for dynamic and/or automatic control of the fans. ;-)

        How many fans do you have and how many connectors are there on your motherboard?

        What are the model numbers?
