Why do you sell two types of cables?
When we designed and developed the Dewire Relay we set out on a mission to reduce cable clutter to a maximum. Instead of opting for a proprietary cable that hooks into your power supply and another cable to run to your motherboard, we rather to run a single motherboard cable instead.
This is fine for most use-cases, but motherboard fan headers have their limitations. For example, running many and/or powerful fans might exceed the common 1 ampere or even the 2 ampere limit. In order to support these more exotic use-cases we also sell a cable that hooks into your spare power supply SATA connector for power. To find out more about this topic, read the "How many fans can I safely connect?" topic below.
How many fans can I safely connect?
All computer fans should have a current rating listed on their specifications sheet. In almost all cases this is listed on the sticker, found on the back of the fan. For example, the popular Noctua NF-A12x25 has a 0.14A current rating. Our Relay series all have a 4A board rating. In theory this means you can safely connect 28 Noctua NF-A12x25 (4A / 0.14A = 28.5) to a daisy chain.
However, there are other limitations at play. Our regular cables connect directly to one of your motherboard fan headers, and are rated 2.5A. Most motherboards have a 1A limit per fan header, some more exotic motherboards have a higher 2A limit. Please consult your motherboard manual to find these specifications. If your manufacturer does not list this specification in detail, it is safe to assume your motherboard only supports 1A per fan header. This 1A limit would reduce the amount of fans to 7 Noctua NF-A12x25 (1A / 0.14A = 7.1), in our example.
If you want to connect more fans, you could consider buying our High power cable, which hooks up into your power supply. To find out more about this topic, see "Why do you sell two types of cables?".
This table is an example for a few setups, containing amount of fans you can theoretically connect.

To which countries does Dewire ship?
