You can put 2 fans to each mobo header with splitters. Thats completely ok. As for fan placements, I'd go for 2 in, 2 out. Usually you'd want more air coming than going out. That can be achieved with either more fans or just higher CFM coming in.

Hi! Today I'm planning of buying 4 used NF-P12's to put in my case, which right now got one front fan and one rear installed, and there is place for 1 more front fan and two top fans, but I could ghetto mod one more fan to fit in the three 5.25" spots. What is the best fan placement? Also my MoBo only got three fan headers, so what should i do? Should I save two fans to put on the Cooler Master TX3 I'm planning to buy later? My MoBo only got one CPU fan header, should I get a fan splitter for the CPU fans? Does that work?

What about 3 in 3 out?
