[SOLVED] How many amps can the 4 pin connector on my motherboard hold ?

[Soulfulant12]

My motherboard, the MSI H110M PRO-VH PLUS , has only one 4 pin for case fans and I am planning to to use a splitter to connect more fans to it.

I have heard that the total fans amps cannot add up to more than what the motherboard can hold or it will get damaged. However, I cannot find the detail of the amps on my motherboard anywhere.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I run into this (not specified) as well.
When I do.....I assume 1 amp.....as that is pretty common.

I wish there was a way to check though because I know people who have a limit of two amps.

I looked and couldn't find anything.
Maybe give MSI a call.

General rule is - you should not connect more than 3 fans to a single fan header.
Use powered fan hub, if you need more than 3 fans connected.

1 amp is typical. But contracting MSI tech support should clarify that. Motherboard mfg have been upping the current lately for fan headers because of AIO pumps using a lot of juice.

These work pretty well. I use one to power 6 fans in my case
