It should be fine. MasterFan Pros aren't that power hungry.

Good day everyone

So I'm looking forward to buy MasterFan Pro fans since SilentWings isn't available in my country and because I don't like noctua's color, the problem being is that my motherboard (ASUS B75M-A) only has 1 Chassis Fan Header and I've seen people saying that 2 fans is fine for 1 header (with an extender).

now, what If I use a PWM extender and I want to connect to a non-pwm fan, will it work? 

 

Thanks in advance, and molex doesn't look pretty

It will work as a non-PWM fan just fine. The 4th pin for PWM would just be left unplugged.

They may not run at max RPM but it should work.
