Fan Header Current Capability; Add-In Board Considerations; Recommended Power Supply Current Values (Low Power) - Intel DQ87PG Specification

Intel Desktop Board DQ87PG Technical Product Specification
For example, for a low power system consisting of a supported 45 W processor (see
Section 1.3 on page 16 for a list of supported processors), 2 GB DDR3 RAM, integrated
graphics, one SSD, one optical drive, and no extra onboard peripherals enabled, the
minimum recommended power supply is a 320 W. Table 32 lists possible
recommended power supply current rail values. Note: If the correct power supply and
system configuration is used, a smaller power supply will work.

Fan Header Current Capability

CAUTION
The processor fan must be connected to the processor fan header, not to a chassis fan
header. Connecting the processor fan to a chassis fan header may result in onboard
component damage that will halt fan operation.
Table 33 lists the current capability of the fan headers.

Add-in Board Considerations

The board is designed to provide 2 A (average) of current for each add-in board from
the +5 V rail. The total +5 V current draw for add-in boards for a fully loaded board
(all three expansion slots filled) must not exceed the system's power supply +5 V
maximum current or 14 A in total.
