Question about Amp ratings...
I have a 12V case fan that has written on it 4.8A and a 12V AC adapter that has output listed as 2.5A ... It appears as if the fan is able to run at full speed just fine. How is this possible when the adapter should not be able to provide enough current?
57 watts for a fan seems awfully high. What kind of fan is that?
System
ASUS Z170-Pro
Skylake i7-6700K @ 4600 Mhz
MSI GTX 1070 Armor OC
32 GB G.Skill Ripjaws V
Samsung 850 EVO (2)
EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2
Corsair Hydro H90
NZXT S340
Delta PFB1212UHE (252 CFM)
the amp rating on the fan is the peak usually which is just for startup so it will be drawing far less than that when just running normally
so the AC adapter is able to provide that initial 4.8A despite being rated for only 2.5A?
