You won't need a splitter. 

The front audio header on your motherboard will support both the headphones and the microphone.

Hello,

right now I am building my first PC and I am getting the Thermaltake Versa H13 Case and the Gigabyte B85M-HD3 Motherboard however from the specs of the MB it says it has 1 x front panel audio header from the photos of the case the case has 2 audio ports. One for Headphones and one for Mic. Will I need to get a splitter for the MB?

Thanks, Bill

Yes the case will have a single front audio cable that connects to your motherboard audio header.   Good luck building your first pc!  ;)

 

Winning an argument with a woman step by step

step one - talk to her

step two - fight with her for 2 hours even if you are really right

step three - admit that she is right for the sake of your safety

step four - realize that you have accomplished nothing and she still thinks you were wrong and now she thinks you are even more stupid
