you can purchase non-powered splitters and enable up to two fans from one header, provided each fan uses less than 0.5A; most motherboards can handle up to 1A on the header or you can use powered splitters that get power via Molex/SATA and manage multiple fans through a single header, or opt for an IR controller if you prefer a fan hub. Keep in mind whether you need a DC or PWM splitter, as some hubs require this specification.

I’m not familiar with 0.5A and 1A power settings, so could you recommend a fan splitter I should consider? Thanks!

Yes, the Akasa PWM fan splitter works well for you. It efficiently distributes power and improves airflow, making it a reliable choice for your setup.

regular fans usually handle less than 0.5A, which means you can safely divide one header into two fans. If you prefer managing all fans from a single header, consider using a powered fan hub—just don’t know the exact setup or fan types yet.

Consider using a five-port setup to simplify cable organization. Placing it on the back with just one visible cable on the motherboard can help tidy things up. If you're not concerned about managing cables, it should still function well.

I’m just going to invest more in a better graphics card, probably because I don’t feel secure with all this fan splitter and voltage adjustments.

Absolutely that would help.

high-quality boards typically include four headers. It wouldn’t make sense to buy extra fan headers just for this purpose. You can reuse one header for each of the four, enabling six fans to connect—two per header—without linking them all to one.
