Video card fan header output

[Sohryu Asuka Langley]

Has anyone even blown their video card fan headers by running a higher rated fan off them?

Not me. But If you have a high output fan then it should be really hooked up to the PSU. Is the burnt out header on your vid card causing any headaches?

I think you can with a smaller fan, but the video card's already at its max at pulling power from the motherboard. With a larger fan you'd be stealing some of the power from the GPU. I would do as the prior post suggests and run it from the motherboard and not take the chance.
