some fan help

[Jacob.xray]

i was wondering if it would be ok to run two fans in a 10w channel

also has anyone used akase apache's (120mm and 140mm) before because im thinking about getting them for my new build

Most fans are <5w, so should work.

i.e you can run 16 noctua NF-F12 PWM off that one channel, hope that is of some help to you

^^^ yes, but it depends on which fans you use ^^^

Hence I say most. Excals (2300rpm) are 0.45A @12v and a 200mm NZXT (800-900rpm) 0.42A @12v, so don't see why any other common fan would use enough more than 5w to fail the channel (5.1-5.5w fans should still run, for example). Deltas and GTs would probably be a good step above 5w I should think though.

Find out the amount of amps the fan uses * it by 12 and it will give you the amount of watts it uses.

Amps * Volts = Watts

EDIT

According to this

http://www.cclonline...he-Fan/CLR1076/

They use 0.3amps at 12v so 0.3 * 12 = 3.6w so 2 * 3.6 = 7.2w

You will be fine running two fans

Just realized that ^^^ is for the 120mm Apaches, the 140mm shouldn't be to much higer in wattage though.
