Hi everybody!
I know B85M-G is pretty low budget motherboard,
but i still want my full control over case fans via that 4pin fan header.
So the question is - can i connect two of these (link) (using Y-connector) to motherboard's fan header without overheating the connector on the board? The only thing motherboard's manual says is that "CPU_FAN connector supports a CPU fan of maximum 1A (12 W) fan power" and nothing about CHA_FAN conector specifications. So i can only guess that they are the same (???) If so - is that ok to connect two fans? Anyone have theories or practiced something like this?
Thanks for your help in advance!
P.S.: I couldnt find any info about how much A this cooler draws (but i guess its less that 0.4-0.5A.. is that right?).. The only thing I found is that one draws 1.56 watts, but how could that be if they dont even start if there's less that 5-7 watts of power given to them.. i mean wth.

. It is fine doing this and it won't overheat, their fans! they draw simply barely any power. It has been done before on many other occasions without any problems.
