GA965P-DS4 : maximum power that can be drained form PWM sys fan plug

Hi,

I couldn't find in the mobo manual the maximum power (or current) that can be drained from the sys fan connector (PWM)

Is anybody having the info ?

Thank's

I would not be fussed, most consumer fans draw next to nothing, with the exception of something like the Enermax Apollish that draws 4.2w many times what a "normal" fan does.

The only fans everyone needs to avoid are the high CFM Delta 38mm fans, up to 48w per fan, well and they sound like jumbo jets :)
Intel i7 930 - Venomous-X - Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD9 - EVGA GTX480 - 12gb (6x2gb) OCZ Platinum - Enermax Revolution85+ 1250w - TT Xaser 4000 VI - G-Skill Falcon II 64gb + 7 HDD's - Razer Lachesis+ExactMat - Saitek Eclipse II - LG L246WHX 24" BenQ 24".

What I would like to do, is solding a slave fan to my system fan, and having his speed ajusted with the master one

(of course, the wire reporting the RPM wil not be solded)

2 92mm fan wil be around 20 watts
