Y split cable from CPU fan header

[Elajitz]

Hey

 

i just got my Noctuna NF-F12 Fans 120mm 12v

that i will use in Push pull config.on my CPU with a Hyper EVO 212 Evo Radiator.

Atm i running the Pull Fan on the CPU_fan header_OPT

and i saw there was a Y-split cable whit the fans,

Is it safe to put that split on CPU_FAN_HEADER

to maintain the same speed on both of the fans?

the mobos fan header is supporting 12v so 2 fans whit a Y-split will it double the voltage and burn the Header ?

 

thx

Yes, you can use a Y-splitter on that header. Most fan headers are rated for at least 1A, some more. 

 

NF-F12 is very power efficient.

unless your other fan is some 2A delta blowiematron, it's just fine to use the splitter. that said, on most motherboards with a cpu_opt header it basicly already is an on-board splitter.

Okay Nice do you think there will be a noticeable temp difference running a Y-split instead of have the fans connected to CPU_fan_OPT And CPU_fan_Header

they are both NF-F12's

There is no difference. In most cases the CPU_OPT header is just slaved to the CPU_FAN header anyway, it really won't matter.

The only difference is you will see RPM for both fans.  

 

(With splitter you will only see for one but if the fans are the same then....)

Okay! then i just go whit the setup i have right now!

i did notice 1 + - 2c temp difference when i changed the Push fan connector from CPU_Header_OPT to CPU_Header

 

i just connect the Y.splitter!, so when i control the speed for the CPU both fans will show up as one vice versa?
