Just finishing up a build here, no max amperage was specified for the 4 pin fan connector, just 12 watts max for the cpu cooler connector. I'm safe with 2 watt fans in the other 3 or 4 connectors, right?

12 Watts @ 12V = 1amp.

LOOK AT THE AMPERAGE NOT THE WATTAGE.

So a fan you can use is roughly 1amp... average amperage of fans are anywhere from .25amps -> .52amps for the high speed san aces.

So roughly you'd be safe with a 38mm fan in all the ports, but i recomend u stick with a .25amperage fan... or somewhere arround .25 amerage, so you dont heat up the pwm fan header.

this is a 120mm fan. Of course I cut up the box (with the rest of the specs on it) for a pattern to make a mount for it and the trash is gone, and of course there are no specs anywhere on the web. I assume 2 watts @ 12v= .16A, so I must be OK?
