ASUS 870i Mobo. Noctua NH-D15 G2 Chromax
(3) Noctua NF-A14x25 Chromax Sx2-PP-two bottom one side
Noctua NF-A12x25 Chromax for case
Should I run the case fan out of CHA header and the other three out of AIO header and adjust the speed? I think running all four into the CHA header is not a good plan.
HELP! And thank you.

Or can I run the two fans on D-15 split with A12 into the cpu header
It should not matter, at least acc. to TechPowerUp, because any of the headers only allows for 12W / 1A.

Are you sure those arent actually G2, too?

If they arent, then they should be sitting at 1.56W.
But IF they are, then they actually sit at 2.28W.

So, lets calculate, assuming these are actually G2 first:

3x 2.28 W + 1x 1.68W + 1x 2.28W = 10.8 W

Thats still 1W below the max output of one fan header, so you should be good :)

If its NOT the G2, then they should be sitting even lower, ie. 8.64 W.
