phanteks y splitter 3 pin header (that has only 2 wires exiting the header) split to 3 pin and 3 pin.

i got exactly both of the image above. which cable should i use ?

yes two fans are ok on one header

any...?

if your fans are 4 pin, get a 4 pin splitter

my fans are 3 pins is it fine on a 4 pin splitter ? any downside compared to a 3pin splitter ?

yes its fine, it should only plug in one side of the plug

you can see the tab will only let the fans plug into the rightmost side 3 pins

will the 3 fans in the spliiter run in full speed ? or could be control by asus uefi bios ? using z170 hero

chasis_fan1-4

yes you can control all the fans on the spliter together as one fan

just make sure that the chassis fan 1 header is set to DC in the UEFI Q-fan control

because you said you were going to be using 3 pin fans

and you cant control 3 pin fans with PWM enabled, needs to be DC

No no no! Somebody linked me the MOST AMAZING SPLITTER EVER.  Hold on!

 

EDIT:

 

I've been told, you can run 4 Noctuas on your motherboards header without damage.  To avoid the risk entirely;

Power straight from the PSU, a splitter for RPM control and splitters to head to the fans.  This avoids taking power from the motherboard entirely.  Great for higher performance fans.

I found a swiftech PWM hub, can i connect 5 of my 3 pin fans to it . and connect the swiftech pwm hub to motherboard and controlled the speed ? by dc?

it will only work when connected to PWM fan header

and it can only control PWM fans

thank you very much
