rusvon Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 hello everyone if I remove the standard 5V 0.5a (2.5watt) cpu fan from m18x r2 or m17x r4 and replace it with a 5V 1a(3.5w) or 12V fan, will it work without any problem? what is the maximum wattage the fan power input can handle? has anyone measured this?

Hi, i think there is 9 or 10 Amps FET transistor to powering all fans when i remember. I was studying the same when i need to add powering a water pump o this power line.
