I'm planning a new core I7 system using a EX58a UD5 motherboard if it is released in a reasonable period of time, and will settle for an EX58 if there will be a prolonged wait.
I intend to use an after market tall CPU cooler that will need 2-3 fans. After a bit of research, it appears to me the most reasonable choice for this is a PWM fan that can be controlled by the motherboard instead of fixed speed or manually adjustable fans. I am considering the Arctic Cooling 120 mm daisy-chainable PWM fans.
I've looked at the Manual for the UD5 and cannot find any data about the number of amps available on the CPU_FAN header. Will I be able to connect the three fans without something going POOF?
