Hello

Recently my fan controller in my Graphite Series™ 600T Mesh Mid-Tower Case stopped working which was controlling 6 of my case fans.

As a quick fix i plugged 4 of my case fans directly into my motherboard but since then my computer randomly restarts during a session.

Is this due to my fans drawing too much energy or a completely individual problem?

Thanks in advance

Those AF120 are only 0.08A max power draw, so even using a 2-way splitter pulls ~0.16A from a single header.

While any header other than CPU_Fan has the potentially to be rated for less than 1A, I don't believe any should be as low that they wouldn't accommodate 2x 0.08A fans.

Can you post the rest of your system spec? Are all fans spinning? Are you monitoring temps? How do CPU/GPU temps look before the forced restart?
