Im planning on adding an intake fan to my HP Pavillion TG01-2002d desktop but there are only 2 fan headers. One is a 3 pin connected to the exhaust and the other is a 4 pin cpu fan header. Now I want to use a Y-splitter on the cpu header to add another fan as intake but I'm not too sure if its able to support another fan. I've been looking around to find a manual of the motherboard so I can know for sure if its able to give out enough power but still haven't been able to find one. I just need to make sure so I can install the right fan without messing up the cpu fan header itself. The motherboard name is "Stark" with the SSID no. 8860.

IMHO leave the CPU fan header to itself.  Do not use that connection for adding fans.  It might be possible to add a fan on the exhaust header but better still would be to get an adapter for the power supply.  If the power supply has any extra power leads or use a splitter to add the fan connection, there.  Many times the motherboard fan ports are monitored for current draw  and it will give a warning to the system if those current monitors are given something different.
