3 fans together on ramps 1.4?

I do not know how to manage my three fans. I am using dual extruders so D9 is occupied. Is there any ways? I was to connect them directly to the PSU, but it doesn't sound too safe.

Nothing wrong with directly connecting them to the PSU as long as you don't mind them running at full speed all the time. It's likely that you have one fan cooling the electronics, in which case it can be wired directly to the PSU, so it is always cooling the electronics. The other two fans (hot end thermal break cooling and print cooling?) can either be wired directly to the PSU to be on all the time, or can be wired to something like this or this to be firmware controllable. Or an even simpler solution here (this would work with RAMPS just as easily as with the Sanguinololu).
