Reddit mentions of 3-Pin Female to 4 x 3-Pin Male Computer Case Fan Splitter Power Connector Black Sleeved Adapter Cable

didnt find any on corsair but will this work? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DYQSZ68/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I've been using liquid cooling for several years. My previous setup is still in operation - its around 3 years old.

I did have an issue with one of my pumps - turned out the pump was drawing more power than the motherboard could output. I solved this with a $7 cable from amazon.

It has been flawless ever since. That 3 year old device is in my file server - temps never increase, but it runs 24/7.

I had a couple of these fans (Antec and Cooler Master) laying on my workbench, so I took my multimeter to them. Both had ~260mA draw.

The simplest approach would be to wire them in a "parallel circuit": In other words, all of the red (positive) wires from each fan connect at a single point, and all of the black (neutral) wires from each fan connect at another single point. (You can leave any yellow or blue wires alone, since they're used for speed sensing & pulse modulation.)

Because this is a parallel circuit (as opposed to a series) we calculate the necessary amperage: 6 fans * 260mA = 1560mA, or 1.56A.

Find yourself an old 12v AC adapter / "wallwart" that can deliver at least 1.6A or greater.

If all you can find is a 1.5A adapter, then lose 1 fan. Otherwise you'll overdraw, and you then run the risk of overheating the adapter, which either leads up to it failing or burning your house down.

Now simply cut the end off, and strip the ends of both wires.

Rather than cutting the plugs off the fans and losing the ability to use them in a future PC, you can inexpensively pick up a splitter online or at most computer shops, and cut the end off the splitter instead.

Now to the actual connection:

• The red wire from the fans (or from the splitter) is positive: These all connect to the AC adapter wire that has white lines (either solid or dashed) on it.
  
  
• The black wire from the fans is ground/neutral, and connects to the unmarked AC adapter wire.
  
  Twist your wire ends together and/or solder them, wrap them in electrical tape, and then to be extra sure wrap over that again in plastic duct tape. (Electrical tape tends to get slippery after awhile, IMO.)
  
  Plug it in and enjoy.
  
  edit: clarity

Would something like this work well? Link.

EDIT: Or should I get a fan controller, so it works better with PWM fans? Link.

Yeah, that's a great case. supports up to 2 280mm radiators if you want water cooling. If you don't have enough fan headers on your mobo (just zoom in on an image of it to find out), you can always get a splitter

> so the rest of my fans are being powered directly from the PSU

Which means they're going full blast.

Considered something like this?

I want to control my fan RPM. Are these fan splitters compatible with my motherboard? I'm hoping to use the included NZXT H440 fans and buy these two fans for top exhaust. Is everything OK?

You can get a fan splitter

You need to use a fan splitter, like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Computer-Splitter-Connector-Sleeved-Adapter/dp/B00DYQSZ68/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1463692239&sr=8-6&keywords=fan+splitter

This is an example of a y splitter.

This is an example of a fan hub.
They've dropped in price since I last looked. Not nearly as expensive as I thought.

It connects to a single fan header on your motherboard and powers the other connected fans at the same speed. You can use PWM fans to avoid running them all at 100% speed, be sure to connect the splitter or hub to a PWM connector for this to work.
