Jeebus man. Why not hook up the vacuum cleaner to it instead? hehe 113cfm ......

It is ~1.0A per header. Those look to be 0.80A so one on each header should be golden.

If you need more headers I suggest you look for a solution that draws power from the PSU.

Besides, you can't get reliable RPM readings nor set/adjust RPMs from a fan header when two or more fans are connected.

wardog, thanks for the reply.  I have read that information from various locations.  I have also read people stating that it is "per header" and I have read it it "total current available to all of the headers."  I don't believe the latter to be true.  I was hoping to find a definitive answer from an ASRock tech sheet.  I just have not been able to locate this sheet :( 

I do not want to put more than on fan per header.  I was hoping to put this fan: Delta AFC1212D-PWM 120mm, on my Chassis_one and another one on my CPU_one.

Hello, I am trying to find information/specifications for the Z97 Killer Fatality fan headers.  I would like to know the maximum current per header that the board can safely support.  Any help would be appreciated.
