I'm playing with fan solutions for my system (http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2036435)...turns out, a rheostat that will handle upwards of 1amp and 12 watts is hard to come by. (if anyone has a "DUH!" solution to this i'd much appreciate it.) I'll probably order one, but in the mean time, i'm curious how much load i can put on the SYS fan header on my mobo. It powers one just fine, @ about 900rpm it's dead silent and pushing a good amount of air, but could i put two on the same header? I never anticipate running them much over 1000-1200 rpm, as they get loud quickly (Scythe Slipstreams). They pull .51 amps at full speed. I didn't find anything useful in the manual. Any thoughts? Thanks!
