get 2 fan extenders

I'm a total noob so sorry for asking but would that connect all four fans or plug two into the two ports and extend the other to my power unit or...?

Some mobos have 2 CPU fan headers, so i suppose if you do have 2 fan headers, a splitter into 1 fan header.

Do you not have other headers to run the fans off of?

Like on my mother board? I was just wondering if there was like a cable that made it possible to turn two fan ports into four and if that's even a good idea or if there is a better one. I'm totally up for suggestions cause I'm very new to the pc building scene

A fan splitter would work for that but you want to make sure that you don't draw too much power from the header. Make sure to check how much each fan draws and how much the headers support.
