Hey guys!

First of, sorry for my english, isn't my first language.

So I just bought a new PC and its very cool.

I just wanted to install a third fan, but I'm afraid that it will fry the motherboard.

Both preinstalled fans are together 0.32 amps.

I'd like to buy an other fan which is 0.37 Amps, together 0.69 A.

I searched but haven't found any information about my motherboard. (Medion B460H6-EM)

I heard one fan header can output 1A so i want the fans to be connected with a fan splitter.


Again sorry for my english.

Many thanks

Solution
If 0.69A is all the total is, then it should be fine. Most motherboard headers are rated for 1A, unless otherwise stated(some can be 2A or 3A).
It's not easy to find that kind of info anymore, and I don't know why.
