Hello,

I have a Maximus VII Hero.
Is it possible to use this cable http://conectica.ro/fisiere/produse/popup/5/89343.jpg to connect (2)two 120mm fans to only 1 header (CHA_FAN1) ?
Is there a risk to broke something ?
What is the A provided by this fan headers ?

Maximum current is 1 amp per header.

So an Y 3-pin cable connected with 2 fans, each fan rated at 0.18 A is ok ?
This means I can connect 5 fans to 1 header ?

Thank you

yes.
bur rpm signal may be a bit effed.
i have 3 fans connected to a fancontroller and the rpm value fluctuates by several hundred rpm.

I am aware of this rpm issue and this why I use 3 pin fans instead of 4 pin.
