Case fan connections

[Horsepower]

Just a quick question to see how many run case fans from the mobo connectors, or a constant connection? Also does a fan that has leds fool the tach readings? Thanx.

I think the issue with fans connected to the MB is not a question as to the number, but more a question of current draw.
As long as the LED fan has a lead for speed detection, the actual light shouldn't be an issue.

I run them from the motherboard. I've only got two, so why not?

So where does one find the current draw specs on the fans on a Coolermaster HAF? Is the available current from the motherboard dependent on the power supply? Thanx.

*bump* yeah, I couldn't find them anywhere

Have you checked the specifications for your fans at the manufacturers site?

Yes, If I check faqs there are some specs about different fans in different cases. I will try to get the labels from each fan and google it. Also I need to disassemble the fans from the case but the white labels look like they have the current rating. Sorry for the laziness.
