I'm not sure exactly what the limit is for that power supply, but I know it is more than a few amps. I can run 21 hard drives, an optical drive and 5 high speed 80mm fans off two cables similar in design to a molex, but I custom made them and have absolutely no problems. That's just thiderastic. Servers are none of these things. Call the Mod Hotline! Yup -- thideras is correct. Other than lights, fans account for the smallest power draw of any item in your computer.
Team 32 Super Sticky -- My Heatware. The PC Fan Hubs are almost as cheap as the fan splitters we saw above. However, they do require an extra power supply connection. Therefore make sure you have a spare SATA connector. You can place the Fan Hubs inside the case. Most come with adhesive tape or magnet that can be used to attach these to the case. Like the Y fan header splitters we saw above, the fans connected to the Fan Hubs are also NOT individually controlled.
Again, you do need to have an Addressable RGB header for this hub to work. Essentially, with this header, you can have upto 6 PC cans connected with the ability to change their color. As far as how to connect extra fans to motherboard goes, there are two basic ways that we covered above. If this does not suit you, then there is a third way to add fans to your PC but that does not involve your motherboard.
Essentially, you can use 3 pin to Molex adapters that can connect directly to the Power Supply Unit bypassing the motherboard.
However, this method gives you no control over the fans and does not provide you with any monitoring capability. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. In the following text we will explore this topic further.
What is a FAN Header? Final Words. Author: Atif Qazi. Atif Qazi is the founder of PCGuide He is a digital nomad who loves everything PC. Two SATA hard disks are run by the mobo. Yes it's fine. Years ago there was a trend for using ultra high speed Delta fans in computers. I tried one once, couldn't bear it, took it off and sold it after a few days It sounded like an idling jet Community Forum Software by IP. Sign In Create Account.

Other two black wires of fans go to the black wire next to yellow wire of the molex. Posted 19 June - AM It's "safe" in as much as two fans which typically draw a fraction of an amp, won't come close to overloading the wiring or the PSU.
