I want to install 3 fans into my build, but the motherboard only has two SYSFAN headers. Should I use a fan splitter or something else?

Yes, just buy a fan splitter.

Do you have any recommendations of which one(s) to buy?

Most seem to come in a two pack, but this one doesn't and looks to be good: https://www.amazon.com/Winncon-Splitter-Converter-Sleeved-Duplicator/dp/B07WN4G7KC/

Check the fan's manufacturer website before you buy a splitter.  Some fans will come with a fan splitter cable included in the packaging.

Alrighty, I will do that. Thanks for the heads up!
