attatching pump to cpu fan header

I was just looking at the manual for my motherboard and it states that the cpufan header can handle a maximum of 2.0a and 24w and my pumps load current is 1.8a and 18w.

It's within the range of both amperage and wattage, just wondering if it can really handle that much of a steady draw. I'm thinking of trying it.

the motherboard is a ASUS x58 sabertooth and the pump is a jingway dp1200, or as it's more commonly known, danger den DD-CPX-Pro

no.. dont do it.

pumps load and startup are 2 different values.

startup can be as high as 3 amp spike.
 
I'm WC now, and damn the worse part was putting the tube coils on. decided to replace almost all my tubing with clearflex after leak testing since i got that in the mail today, double checked all barbs before reassembling. right now running stress test with Intel Extreme Tuning utility for an hour to see how the temps are.

and no, I didn't connect the pump to the fan header, the cable was too short anyways even if I wanted to.

now I just need to get a 3x120 rad and 2 mcw80 for my 4870x2.
