Is there any official information on the power requirements/limits for the fan headers on the blades? I know fans dont take too much power but it seems like the blades can already take quite a bit of power in just for running them.

Just didnt know if it would be beneficial to run the fans through the blades rather than the same power rail from the PSU. (currently have my 4 blades running the fans from 1 power rail and each blade from its own power rail). just trying to think about expandabiltity.

I don't see how it should make much of a difference.  I heard one reason that blade plug only needs two terminals connected (one 12V and one ground) was to leave you room to wire in fans to the plug (in addition to the headers).  The amps pulled by the fans should be pretty small compared to the blade so I wouldn't worry about it.
