I recently managed to acquire a brand new H60 for just 45$
😀
The main issue is the fan's noise and its limited airflow, so I considered purchasing a couple of EK Vardar F4 fans (not yet) and using a push/pull setup. My challenge is that I have a Micro-ATX motherboard with only two four-pin headers. I currently use a splitter for my H60 fan and another one for the case fan, while the sysfan header is dedicated to my pump. I’m wondering if adding another splitter would ensure both the pump and fan get sufficient voltage on my GA‑78LMT‑USB3 motherboard?
P.S. Any other fan suggestions?

I wouldn't do that since fan and pump must operate at different speeds, and the fan controls in BIOS would become mixed up about which speed the whole kitten caboodle should run. Pumps usually need to spin at full speed for effectiveness, so you can simply plug it directly into the PSU.

I think I'll probably purchase a 4 pin to Molex adapter.
