Posted April 20, 2016 On my motherboard atm I have 1 3pin fan connected to the 4pin fan header. I can control the RPM In my bios, I want to run all 4 fans all together and be able to change the rpm In the bios I was thinking of getting this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Phobya-3Pin-Molex-auf-60cm/dp/B00414ROKU?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0 It seems to be a 3pin to a 4x 3pin, If I connected all of the fans to this would I be able to simultaneously control all the fans at once in the bios?

Im thinking of running near enough all fans at low RPM's Should that be OK with this splitter?

Yes that's no a problem for 3 pin fans as long as your not running something like delta fans Updated Modding FAQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
