Fan header question

    I just finished putting together a new build. The case I bought came with three fans in the front panel, no other fans. The three fans connect independently to three headers on the motherboard. I am looking to add on one or two exhaust fans soon (nothing is currently overheating but I still need get exhaust fans). The problem is that the three front fans are connected to the only three fan headers on the board. I don't have anywhere to connect new fans to.

    Any thoughts? is there any way to daisy-chain the front fans so they are only taking up one header on the board?

    Thanks


    Edit:/ Ignore, I should have searched google, fan splitters are a thing!

    Aside from the splitters you've discovered, butt here's also various add-on control boxes, e.g. Corsair Commander series, or fans that do connect to each other in a daisy chain such as those from Lian Li and others.

    Splitters remains the simplest and cheapest approach though.
