Noodlez Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I'm looking for some advice on connecting multiple fans to a Gigabyte X99 UD4 which I plan to Overclock the CPU to 4.3Mhz My setup Fractal Define R5 Case Gigsbyte X99 UD4 Motherboard Intel Core I7 5820k CPU Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB 2400 Memory Corsair RM750i PSU Noctua NH D15S 82.5 CFM CPU Cooler (including additional Noctua NF A15 PWM 140mm fan) Noctua NF A14 PWM 140mm Noctua NF A14 PWM 140mm In total there are 6 fans which includes the 2 stock Fractal Case fans Would it be safe to use the Noctua's supplied Y cable splitter to connect 2 fans to 1 fan header on the motherboard ? I have heard that you can burn out the boards header this way if not careful ? Can anyone advise ? Many Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JahStories Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 4.3mhz ?!!? slower than a gameboy! just joking, btw yes you can connect the splitter to run multiple fans, but don't you care about the noise?!? it's going to be a pretty loud PC! why don't you get one of those cheap (50$) liquid cooler to use just one fan for the cpu and a couple for case cooling?

Noodlez Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 Hi thanks for your help I was originally going to go for a liquid cooler but after reading up on the different types of coolers, the Noctua D15s results where in the high end of good liquid coolers plus no worry of leakages.. Apparently they're very quiet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llamafilm Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Those Noctua fans are very nice and quiet. They list the current draw on the data sheet. So just ask Gigabyte how much current is supported on each fan header. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
