High Speed Fan and DFI Ultra D Headers

[march09]

Hello,

I just bought the Ultra High Speed 92mm Panaflo Fan H1A. I'm going to start overclocking on my Ultra D and I plan to use this cpu fan with a Thermalright xp 90.

However, a certain website warned (below) connecting this fan directly to mobo might result in frying the mobo header.

.......This HIGH wattage fan should NOT be plugged directly into your motherboard 3 pin connectors. You will risk burning the headers out. We recommend a 3 Pin Panaflo tail with a motherboard header saver cable..........

Fan Specs: 68.8 CFM @ 3450 RPM, 43.0 dBA, 5.16w, 430 mA, 12v DC,

All my 80mm case fans are connected to the PSU via molex connectors. The only fans connected to the mobo will be 80mm back case fan and the 92mm Pany on the Cpu.

I use my computer on an average of 8 to 10 hours a day and w/ OCing plus using this high speed fan on my cpu will this risk frying the header?

Considering my specs, usage and set up is a header saver cable recommended and / or necessary? Or does DFI under warranty support such loads on their headers?

just don't plug the high powered fans in there, they told you not to already and if you do, they won't RMA it for you put your 80mm fan on those connectors and the high powered ones on mol ex

I have a 92mm Thermaltake that spins at up to 2800 RPM and a 120mm case fan sharing the CPU fan header with no problems; I like doing it this way because the DFI utility controls the speed of the fans, so when I am not gaming they are usually spinning around 1200 RPM.
