Is it okay to use a fan splitter for my CPU fans?
Asked by

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?

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!

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!

NewbieBuilder01: I’m not sure if mine has that. It's a Thermalright Frozen Notte ARGB. You think I’ll need a separate splitter?
