Dual PWM fans on CPU Heatsink?

Hello everyone. I have an E6750 rig which I am building into an Antec 900 case (case is still under construction). For now, it is residing in an old Chieftec tower until the cutting & painting on the 900 is finished.

At the present, I am running on the stock Intel cooler, but once the rig is moved over into the Antec 900 case, I will be putting my Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme on there. I have 2 Scythe DFS122512L-PWM fans that I plan to use on the tower in a push/pull fashion. The only problem that I am foreseeing is that there is only one 4 pin PWM connector on the motherboard ( GIGABYTE GA-X38-DQ6). Is there a way that I can make a splitter to attach both of them to that socket, so that they can both be controlled via PWM, or am I out of luck?

I believe that the way PWM works, you'll be able to parallel the +12, Ground and PWM leads, but you can only hook one of the speed sensor leads. Since the fans are the same, that one should work for both. If you want/need to monitor both fans, you can get another 3-pin shell- http://www.jab-tech.com/UV-and...-connectors-c-173.html -and hook the second speed sensor lead to another fan header.
