Corsair fan wattage?

[MonsterKiller]

Been looking into the Corsair fans and I want to use some for my next PC build. I have a BitFenix Recon fan controller, which only supports 10watts/channel, but i wanted to use it. However, I am unable to find how many watts the Corsair fans actually use. It's not listed on their site as far as I can tell and wondered if anyone knew, for any of their fans? Thanks

P.S. I know I would easily be able to run 1 fan/channel but wanted to see if i can do 2 per channel.

You should be fine a pulls about 1-3 watts, a really high rpm model maybe 5+

Checked it on aquatuning for the SP120 quiet edition: 0.08A and max. 12V, this means 0.96W (I*U=P)

Yeh - fans are usually very minimal - the Noctua NF-P14 pulls 1.2w at max, so there wont be that much variance around that. I highly doubt it will pull anymore than 2w tbh

Okay, thanks guys

yeah, thats tested in open air.. if you are behind an air filter or have a restriction in flow,
that number will change easily. a good thumb rule is double the estimated watts for circuit
reliability.

In theory I could still do 2 fans/channel with quiet editions which is what I was hoping for
