Hi

I ended up buying the P8Z77-V LX last night (don't ask) and I see it has what ASUS call Fan Xpert+.

I think I would like to try this feature out and was wondering if its safe to daisy chain multiple fans using splitters? I will be using Nocuta NF-F12 fans.

The case will be using 5 of these fans so presuming there are 2 system fan headers, will it be ok to chain 3 fans of one header? I'm already a bit concerned about the lack of power phases and heatsinks and don't wanna stress her out too much lol.

Thanks
New Boy
 
Noctua got back to me. They said their fans draw 0.6w.

So looks like I'm free to turn my PC into a Fan Xpert+ controlled hovercraft if I want to :D
