    CPU fan header power

    I guess it's 12v, but how many mA? I want to run a 2nd 120mm fan for a "push pull" setup on the same 4 pin header and just want to confirm it will run 2 x fans without burning it out.
    Don't own a multimeter, I r n00b.
    *On the Blackops MB.

    Thats a good question. I'd also like to know the power ouput for the CPU/NB/case & 2 fan headers in this motherboard..

    they should be good for 1.2A+
    i even pulled more than 2A once to check how beefy they are and it worked fine

    Thanks Saaya. I know I could just molex the fan/s, but I prefer it to adjust speed automatically as required and the MB header is the WTG for that.
