you need some kind of adapter regardless, might as well get some of these

there are even cheaper ones out there

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Just out of curiosity; How many fans can you max connect to one splitter ?

as long as their max current draw dont exceed 1A (2A if specified)

I think 5 fans is current limit. After that headers start to act up. Though max is still 1A per header unless otherwise specified.

Im using a 600watt psu with a rtx 2060super

below are the fan specs-

Operating Voltage

FAN: DC6.0-13.8V; LED:DC9.0-13.8

Rated Current (A)

FAN: 0.18A±20% ; LED:0.30A±20

Will connecting these 2 fans to the psu cause any problem?

According to that the fan with it's LEDs will draw 0.48A so 0.96A for two together on one header . You're fine to connect two of them to your motherboard using a splitter like @Fasauceome linked above.

 

Connecting them to the motherboard fan header would be recommended however IF you want to run them directly from your PSU you'll need a molex to fan adapter cable, but doing so means you won't be able to control the fan speeds from your motherboard, they will just run at full power all the time

To PSU none. Single SATA or molex has something like 5A.
