I'm new to building PCs and I have a question about using fan splitters. I have an AIO cooler that comes with three fans, but my motherboard only has one CPU fan header. Can I safely use a regular fan splitter for the CPU fans, or is that not recommended? Also, should I be worried about power draw or anything like that?

Yep, you can definitely use a fan splitter for your CPU fans! Most AIO coolers and CPU coolers come with their own splitters to connect multiple fans to a single header. As long as your motherboard’s fan header can handle the power draw of the three fans, you should be good to go!
Yes! You can use fan splitters without any issues. Just a heads up, though—check if your AIO cooler already includes a splitter or if it has a daisy-chaining option. That could simplify your setup!
I’m not sure if mine has that. It's a Thermalright Frozen Notte ARGB. You think I’ll need a separate splitter?
