If you put the fans in parallel and the new fan uses the same amount of current you should be fine. The old fan will not run any slower. However the darlington transistor that controls the fans will get more stress. But it should be okay. Read about "series versus parellel circuits" on wikipedia.
So it has the same voltage, and some extra amperage, so that it can run the Fan with the same amount of power, and an extra one.
I mean, One fan (GUESSING) uses 5 volts and 200mAh two fans in parallel uses the same voltage but double amperage, that means that the board circuit has the capability to give that double amount of amperage
But they get a little bit warmer
Am I ok?
