Fan headers POWER

In consumer grade PCs volts are 12V per header. Amps will depend on header and are usually said in specs. In most mobo headers its 1A per, but there are high power headers with 2A or even 5A.

 

Commander Pro seems to be 12W for each fan header which converts in 1A per header. That would be 2-4 fans, depending how much each fan draws.

Do you know the amperage of the fan headers on the ASUS B8M-G R2.0? If you do, please reply.

The only spec I found in the manual relating to the amperage rating of the fan headers is the one for CPU_FAN.

Every fan header on the board probably supports 1A.

 

@DannyTechTips Did you want to split to 6 fans off of one header? If so, that's probably too much and you'll probably need a powered splitter.

All headers are 1A unless otherwise stated. You can find that info from mobo manual.
