    And its pretty easy to figure out since if those currents would really be like 0.049A... You could run like a dozen of them with any controller. But anyway... They use just as much power as normal fans.
    GT's are the leader of the pack when it comes to efficiency. Just check out this chart.



    Here's the whole review of many different fans: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/coo...s-roundup.html

    And here is data taken for all the different GT's, including their peak current:

    Check out the peak current (which would include startup) for some other fans

    Grr my multimeter fuse is blown from another past experiment, more tomorrow once the fuse is replaced.........
    Go for it. I'd check mine with my multimeter, but they are all soldered in parallel, heat shrinked, zip tied, and in my case.

    These aren't your typical computer fan, with all marketing gimmicks, ect. They are pretty much precision made industrial fans made by a fan manufacturer ( www.nidec-servo.com ). They are just marketed by scythe.
