Just how much fan can you attach to mobo fan headers? (190mm X2?)

Was not sure where to put this, but I just rebuilt our second PC using a HAF922 case.

I have the front 200mm Red LED fan and the top 200mm fan connected to a Y splitter and then both are connected to a single fan header on my Gigabyte P35-DS3L motherboard.

I am using a Corsair VX450W PS with pretty low key system (E5200, HD4830, single HDD)

Those are pretty large fans - any chance they are going to overtax the motherboard or that one header?

I put them on the same header so I can add a side fan a little later and use it on the other header - also, it made wire management neater since I first used an extension cable to run behind the motherboard before splitting it and connecting everything.
