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. |

Most board fan headers are rated for 1.0A. You should be safe staying below that. 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.

It is ~1.0A per header. Those look to be 0.80A so one on each header should be golden. Jeebus man. Why not hook up the vacuum cleaner to it instead? hehe 113cfm ......
