A motherboard header generally supports around one amp. Adding two to three fans per header is usually fine, though the exact choice depends on the fans selected. With four fans, you’ll be completely okay even without a fan hub—just a few Y-splitters will do the job!
Common fan connectors manage about 1A of power. Individual fans typically draw around 0.3A, with variations. This means you can power three fans from one header (unless they're very high-power models) by using a Y splitter. When choosing a hub, this detail becomes irrelevant because hubs supply power externally and don’t affect the header directly.
This would be a straightforward option. You can find more details on Amazon using the provided link and keywords. It’s not promoting the brand directly, just showing an example of a product search.
I checked the fan splitter and the review mentioned "USE IDENTICAL FANS!" Meaning I probably can't use the cool master fan.
Both 3- or 4-pin fans are acceptable options. You can definitely pair two different 4-pin fans using a splitter. If the fan included with your case is PWM (4-pin), it should work fine with any other splitter without problems. The reviewer’s requirement for identical fans seems unclear.
