First of all I'm buying a noctua nh-u12s and intend on using a single fan, a 500w psu is fine right?

If I wanted a second fan how would I connect it ? As far as I know my mobo only supports one cpu fan. I know you can get splitters but are these safe and is there any real benefit to getting two fans ?
Cpu is a ryzen 5 3600
 
Ya I dont think I have two sockets for fans. Just the one.
I heard using a splitter can overload the socket

Not intending on getting two I'm just doing some research

My 3600 runs really cool even with stock cooler ( 72c whilst gaming )
 
Got the noctua set up with a single fan.
Would I notice much difference with an extra one ? I already have an exhaust style fan on the left of the heatsink connected to my case
