Let me start by apologizing if this has already been covered elsewhere.
Now on topic, i've been wondering how many Watts are safe to circulate through these things..
( if you need a visual, imagine something like this: https://www.amazon.com/PWM-Y-Splitter-Cable-Adapter/dp/B002OFP6QW )
A personal example:
8 EK furious Vardars, totaling (a maximum of) 45.12 Watts / 3.76 Amps. Is it safe for me to make/use an 8-to-1 splitter? Can it take such a load? Will solder it myself if i have to.
Would help a lot, too many fan cables going round, am trying to minimize what ends up on my Lamptron. If any of you have some notion of where the limit is, do let me know
As always, my thanks for reading.
Edit: To help avoid further misunderstanding, let me rephrase this:
- A fan's PWM cable can easily withstand the 0.47Amps; of said one fan.
- Can said same cable withstand 3.76 Amps (0.47x8)? 'Cause that's what happens when you go 8-to-1 in a single Y-Splitter.
