[programmers_org]

forgive the idiocy of this question, but here goes:

is it ok to have two 12 volt 3" case fans connected to a single 12v line? I've seen Y-spliters before, so I figured itd be ok... but I'm not certain.

appreciate the help... dont wanna blow up my computer,

Welcom to the forums! You'll not find a better group of people to get help from. :)

Yes it is. It's really no different than what the PSU manufatures do anyway.

No problems here, you can use y-splitters to hook up your Fans on a single 12 V line. Your fans don´t draw so much current..
Hope that helps!

And welcome to the Forum! Enjoy! :cool:
