Hi planning build with Z77E-ITX in Bitfenix Prodigy Black Case
Mobo has 1 x Chassis Fan connector (1 x 4-pin) voltage controlled
Looked all over and even the manual doesn't give spec for how much current the chassis fan header on the mobo supports.
Case has great airflow for air cooling, but only one 5.25" bay that I will be using for a dvd drive and NOT a fan controller. PCI plate external fan controller out of the question because my graphics card will be using both slots. The pc will be on 24/7 and i think running fans unnecessarily at full power from the PSU here would be such a waste.
Setup is to be air-cooled case with 2 fans only:
BitFenix Spectre Pro All Black 230mm intake
Current (A) 0.41A ±10%

BitFenix Spectre All Black 120mm exhaust
Current (A) 0.18A ±10%
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835345001
Anyone know if the fan header will support both with a 3 pin Y connector?

Also will the speed control on the board be able to adjust based on temp for 2 different fans?
Both fans are 12V but the big 230mm has a Starting Voltage of 5VDC. Both fans similar max rpm with the big one running at 900rpm and the 120mm at 1000rpm
Tnx for any help!
