short answer, yes. which fans, which splitters, which hubs? Aquaero 6 fan headers are rated 30w per channel, which is much higher, like 2-3 times what motherboard fan headers, even more when compared to most other controllers and hubs that have a total rating of 1-2amp / 12-24w rating of all headers combined.22 Jun 2020
How many fans can you put on a splitter?
A fan header typically has a 1 amp rating. When using a Y splitter two CPU fans is generally okay for a single fan header. Three CPU fans can start to push the limit of the power a single fan header can supply.29 Aug 2021
Can I connect fan splitter to motherboard?
Using a Y Fan Header Splitter. A Y fan header splitter is the easiest way to connect multiple fans to a single fan header on your motherboard. A fan header splitter is the simplest and the cheapest way to connect more fans to your motherboard header. A motherboard fan header is usually rated at 1 Ampere.29 Aug 2021
Do fan splitters affect performance?
No, they will all run the same speed. Compare it to having 1 light on or having 3 lights on in your home. it depends on the power source, if the source only have enough power for 1 fan, then yes the fan speed of 2 fans will be halved.11 Dec 2012
Are fan splitters good?
You will be safe using a fan splitter as long as you the fans you are connecting does not draw more current than the motherboard header provides.15 Feb 2017
What does a fan splitter do?
A mobo header's circuits can accept and count the speed pulse signals from only ONE fan, so a splitter must send to the header the speed signals from only one. The other fan's speed signals are ignored. This is the correct way to build a splitter.8 Jun 2016
Can you control fans with a splitter?

Do PC fan splitters reduce speed?
splitter do not reduce power it only split between the 2 fan and they receive ful power but it will only read one speed sensor for one fan .9 Jun 2016
What are fan splitters used for?
A fan splitter uses one of the pin 3 (tach) signals to send the motherboard fan speed. It can control fan speed on the PWM pin 4. A fan splitter will split pins 1,2 and 4 to every fan, and pin 3 from the first fan. Fan banks of more than 2 or 3 fans also take power from a molex connector.
