ok guys, i got some case fans, they're all 3 pin. i have a question. i am using the nh d15 and as you may know, it comes with a fan splitter. and as you also might know is that one of the headers is only 3 pin but theres a space between one of the pins. will a 3 pin fan work in that header?

third pin is fan speed聽sensor, splitter only has one end with that third pin because each mobo fan header can only read one signal

That splitter is for PWM fans. It should still work.

Control depends on which mobo you have.
