I'm planning on getting 3x Arctic P12 PWM fans for my NZXT H510, 2 front intake, 2 back together with the stock NZXT fan as exhaust.

Thing is I have a B450M Pro4-F, which only has 2x Chassis Fan Connectors (1x 4-pin, 1x 3-pin), so I have to get a fan splitter.

So I'm curious, with the fan splitter, will 3 fans on one fan connector cause any sort of voltage problems? On the motherboard manual it doesn't say what max power the 4-pin connector supports, but I'm guessing it's 1A?

 

Some pics that might help:

They need so little amp, that using 3 on one header should not be a problem. You might not even need a fan hub, since they can be daisy chained (might not work, depending on how far away they are from each other)

How exactly do I daisy chain?

well the case is a furnace, so those fans woudl not help at all, fans cant suck in air trought the panel .

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.

Hate to kill your idea but it'll be useless, the case has no air intakes so the fans will just be nice things to look at.

 

He's right you know.

 

Also the splitter will work. Fans won't do anything but at least the header will be fine.

How do you suggest I cool my pc otherwise? I know the case isn't that good for cooling, I can't really buy a new one right now.

Is this the case Jayz2cents keeps promoting? I cringe every time I see that white vertical panel strip in this case as it tells me there’s zero airflow. 
 

Everyone’s got this case & I don’t think Jayz2cents did people many favours by constantly showing it (although the one he promotes may be the mesh front, so apologies if I got it wrong, but it still looks identical from the side so it could confuse people)…
