MSI H81M-P33 Fan header durability.

Gutchynsky · Aug 25, 2016

Soo, i want to plug in 5 case fans into one header with a splitter, is it possible? The combined power of the fans is 1.05 amps, is it enough to fry the motherboard or is it safe?

The Fans:
Corsair AF140 Led
Corsair SP140 Led
Corsair AF120 3x
The splitter:

I wouldn't try it, no more than two is usually recommended. Most of the headers I've enquired about can only handle 1.0 amp maximum.

What would you recommend?

I would get a fan hub or controller.

Well, that's a bit too expensive for me, what if i plugged one of the 5 fans into a separate fan header (i have 2 on my motherboard). Then the power of fan per header would be under one amp, am i right?

If your headers can indeed handle 1 amp. You may need to contact the motherboard's support team and see if they can tell you what your headers are rated for.

Well, the support team said, that if the power of the fans if under 1 amp everything should be fine. Soo, i'll plug 4 fans into a splitter and one into a separate header.

Good deal, you're covered for warranty too then since they blessed it.
