    Question Do volts add up in fan headers or remain the same?

    So if my mobo fan header has a max power of 12watts & 1A and i plug in three 12v fans in that same header using a fan splitter. Does that mean 36v will be flowing through that header if i set fans to max speed using PWM? Is that how it works? In this case each fan’s max input is 0.18A and max...

    [SOLVED] What is my case fans amperage? (Can I use multiple on one header)

    hi my guys, anyone know the maximum amps for the NZXT case edition Aer F120s? (model number: RF-AF12C-XZ ; ones found stock in the h710 cases and others) - the stickers reads 12VDC 0.16 A but I doubt that's the max amperage, probably like the average as that seems very low compared to my...

    [SOLVED] I7-8700 (non k) + Z370-F Gaming | 1.5 Volts + 75°C | How to lower Voltage/Temp Spikes? | ML240R Cooler

    I'm running an Z370-F Gaming (BIOS: 2401) and i7-8700 (non k) with temps/volts spiking to 75°C/1.5v under load. Cooler is liquid ML240R, as per title. Seems like a high spike in volts, if nothing else. The ambient temps in all cases was ~22°C, although I fear in summer @ 40°C ambient, it will...

    Question How does Adapative Mode + Offset work?

    Today I read several articles regarding overclocking and think I'm ready to give it a spin. I OC'd the CPU (i7 6700k) to 4.5Ghz @ 1.250v (seems to be running fine for now). But I see that the 1.250 volts are constantly pushing even when idle, so I thought about trying something else. I want the...

    Power Supplies, best, most reliable?

    So I have been going over this in my head for at least a month. Good thing my old PSU isn't that old but I am afraid it is going to start going soon. Currently I have a Corsair AX750 80+ Gold purchased in Q3 2013, it is a bit overkill for my single GPU setup but it works well and hasn't had...

    Do you recommend using zip ties for a custom built PC? (for the cables) + what tools do I need for building a PC?
