? About fan headers on video cards

[Dman877]

I just installed an AMD stock heatsink on a pny gf4 Ti4200. I'm going to be using the 60x10mm fan as well, but at 5v to eliminate noise. Anyway, I know video fans run at 5v and I am wondering if using the fan header on the video card is a viable option. I have no idea what kind of current the stock fan draws or what the fan header is capable of delivering. Of course it is just a 4200, I could always give it a try and replace it if something blows...

do you have a multimeter handy?

No but I could get one at work... I would imagine it would read 5v... Oh what the hell I'll just give it a shot, the fan is rated at .22 amps, that kind of power draw can't be too serious.
