I was looking for a 3pin 3-way fan splitter.. I have seen a 2way, but not a 3way. (and I know I can make it easily)

I am wanting to connect 3x 120MM YL to a single 3pin fan controller.

The only main concern is, would a fan controller channel be able to fully power 3 fans? essentially being daisy-chained...

I was looking at something like zalman fanmate, or perhaps the newer MFC-2 controller...

but I really have no clue if it could run all 3 fans on the same controller at full power

anyone tried this? anyone know if this is feasible?

thank

Fan controllers have specified maximum currents. Fans have specified maximum current loads. Do the math.

A Fanmate II will easily drive 3 or more Enermax Marathon 120mm fans with Enlobal bearings. Three "Tornado" fans, no.
