After that it says that I am not sure whether this is the combined current for all the headers, or for a single one. That is my main question.

Yes, it's per header, a total of 2A for 4 or 5 headers would be way too low.

Also, they probably have some kind of over-current protection anyway so you won't fry anything.

I am planning to buy a couple of CM Turbine Master 1.8 case fans but they draw quite a lot of current, up to 0.5 Amps each.

My question is: can I wire 2 of these onto 1 fan header?

The motherboard I want to buy is a Gigabyte GA-AB350 Gaming 3. It says on the site of Gigabyte that the headers support up to 2 Amps each, but it's not clear (at least to me) whether this is the combined max current of all headers, or of one header only.

This may be stupid question, but I would rather ask a stupid question than fry the fan headers.

 

Thanks in advance.

P.S. I don't want to buy a fan hub, just so you know.

Ok, my cheapo Bitfenix fans are 120mm, all six of them. Are you happy now?
