PWM Splitter on ASUS Z97-Deluxe fan header

[The Navigamer]

Would it be safe to plug two fans into one header on an ASUS Z97-Deluxe motherboard using this splitter? http://www.noctua.at/main.php?show=productview&products_id=74&lng=en

 

I want to make sure I'm not trying to draw too much power through it, or anything else detrimental.

 

Thanks in advance!

Yeah but I wouldnt try more than 2 fans per motherboard header (So basically use one of those splitters per header)

Depends on the amp draw of the fans. Every ASUS board (Z87/Z97/X99) I've owned has a maximum draw of 1A on each fan header.

 

Learned this when I contacted EK about their Vardar requirements, .52A per fan, needed 1 header for each fan.

I couldn't find the rating for my Rampage V except the cpu fan header had a warning of 12 W max I believe.  I got Gelid 1-4 PWM splitters for my 480mm Radiator fan banks.  I had one wire defective but the other runs all 4 fans at rated speed.  The wire plugs into the Mobo and the PSU.

I was planning on using using a splitter on 2 of each of these fans:

If I'm reading the specs right, the first one draws 0.1A and the second draws 0.45A, right?  So they would be safe?

2 of each would be too much on a single header. .45*2=.9 + (.1*2=.2) = 1.1A. If you were putting one of each on a single header you're good to go (.55A/header).

I didn't quite word that right.  I mean 2 of the Gelid fans on one header and 2 of the Noctua fans on a different header.

Yes one would be (0.45A*2) X 12V = 10.8 Watts.   The other is listed at 1.2W per meaning 1.2W * 2=2.4W

Two gelids would be .9A, so under the max current rating by .1A. Depending on how accurate their current ratings are, I wouldn't risk being .1A away from max. It would be wiser to segregate them. You could stack 7-8 of the Noctuas and it wouldn't matter
