If I use a fan splitter to power 2 fans from one 3pin fan port will both the fans only run %50 as fast as normal? 

 

Thanks Sid :D

They should be controlled by the motherboard if they are plugged in that way by the spilter.

Depends on the Splitter. Many Splitters have 1x5v and 1x7v. If that´s the case, not both can run with 100%.

? I would say thats very rare case. Fan header cables are PWR-GND-RPM(-PWM). Your splitter sounds like molex connector with only certain cables connected.
