davidhammock200 Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 0.52A x 12V = 6.24watts on a fan header to a total max of 2.1 amps on all headers is 25.2 watts total for all fan headers.

zungkono Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 No :shake: from 5 headers fan on mobo, I only use for chipset(stock) and cpu(that I want to add JMC Datech fan), I leave 3 of them empty. Is it still not recommended? So I use 0.85x12v=10.2w + chipset fan < 25.2 ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I can connect the sens wire separately to cpu fan? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidhammock200 Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 thank you for your rec, so I will connect it to PSU directly. Maybe I can connect the sens wire separately to cpu fan?Yes, attach the RPM sensor wire to the mobo header, so the mobo can read the fan's speed.Attach the fan's power leads to the PSU using an 4-pin molex adaptor or a fan controller. Good Luck, Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Luck, Dave @davidhammock200 : this fan have 3 pins two for power and another one for thermally control, can you tell me where I can connect this pin(to mobo)? If I leave this pin unconnected the fan run slowly. Help me please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

zungkono Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 What is the exact fan model you have? :confused: This model JMC/DATECH 9232-12HBTL-2 with 3 pins, from my searching there is thermistor(thermal sense) and from an email to manufacture the 3rd pin for lock rotor(I don't know what is it for) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
memnoch7 Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 hello i have a 0.9A delta connected to the mobo and so far no problem. typical cpu fans are like 0.2-0.3 amps, chipset fan is about the same so as long as you are under 2.1 amps its fine. besides most fan (cpu/chipset) don't run at their full speed so its draw less amps than that so its ok.
