Hi I just replace my old case with this 801 just wondering I plug in 6 fans total into the fan hub and i manage to use motherboard PWM signal to control them (total 6 fans) will it overload my fan header? I also plug in the sata power to the hub.

Nope it can handle at least 6 fans

Yes the header for the mobo is only rpm signal. A sata power connector is rated at 54W. If we assume the fan controller can handle that. You can run 6 fans at 9W each. You can check the wattage on your fan. DC voltage x amps = watts

So don't run 5400RPM gentle typhoons or something crazy like that. (most fans use 1-2W at most)
