    Hey, I am planning on adding another fan to my Clevo W370SS and a quick question was needed before I uploaded my plans and the ensuing build.

    If I use a 3 Pin Fan Controller splitter to power the extra fan will this impede the performance of the first fan?

    I will upload some pictures of my plan in a few hours.

    EDIT

    OK as promised here is the brief plan, If someone could get back to me about the splitter that would be great :)

    And here is the briefly drawn up plan, the main change will be the removal of the SATA port and the cutting back of the chassis and the cutting of some vent holes.

    The additional parts I will be adding will be a Dell Inspiron 6400 Laptop Heatsink & Fan.
