Was this a bad idea?

Hi,

I've been using Thermaltake 120 extreme for long time now, seeing as it does not come with a fan, I purchased two, one for each side. Each fan has a three pin power connector, so I purchased a converter two three pin female ports into one three pin male connector . Then I plugged both fans using converter into the CPU fan three pin plug on motherboard.

Never had an problems, but would it be better to split them up? I could use NB fan connector or something. (already use case fan connector).

Thoughts?

if you havent had a problem.......why worry about it now?

Just thinking fans might not be getting enough power to spin at full speed.

Fans are wired in parallel when they're hooked up, so voltage will not be an issue. As long as you don't have some 3000+ RPM screamers on full time the motherboard header should be able to power them without being overloaded.

From what I recall, both fans are 1600 rpm each, so that is 3200 rpm in total.
