    Hi everyone,

    I have a built in fan controller on this Lian Li case I picked up, and I currently have 2 120mm fans but I want a third,
    What's the best way to connect them all to the single 3-pin connector on the fan controller?

    I have a splitter so I can connect 2 of them, but what about the third? Surely the answer isn't another splitter?

    Rather urksome problem I haven't found a solution to.

    Pictures can be uploaded but will take about 20 mins.
    :D

    Erm, perhaps a 3-way splitter? You can daisy-chain two two-way splitters, I suppose, but it'll be messier.

    Ah ok thats fine,
    I will look out for a 3 way, but i didn't know daisy chaining would be physically possible.

    however I have also re-examined the fan controller and there appears to be a second connector so looks like i wont have to after all.

    just need some longer cables for the fans.

    Thankyou.
