Will the H12SSL be damaged if powerful fans are connected?

I am going to install a Supermicro H12SSL-I in an Ablecom CS-G47A case.

This case has 7 fans, each consuming about 27 watts (look at the FAN-0138L4 in this table, this is SC747 passive cooling GPU).

At the same time, the H12SSL has 6 fan connectors (in addition to the CPU fan), each of which can handle up to 3 amps.

Question: will the board die immediately/over time if it is constantly running with 6 fans connected to it?

i doubt that because the 4Pin FANs are supplied by +12V and regulated by itself(PWM input)
but there ca be a (micro)fuse somewhere on the PCB i don't know.

i think more about PSU multirail over current issues, 7x 12V x 3A = 252Watts
but today most of the PowerSupplies are single Rail.
e.g. 12V 100Amp ( a bad short circuit of 88Amps will not trigger the OCP but gives nice fire inside the case )

My options for power supplies that I can install (I am free to use any of these power supplies):
  • Supermicro 1000/1200W Multi-Output PS2/ATX Power Supply (PWS-1K25P-PQ)
  • Supermicro 865W Multi-Output PS2/ATX Power Supply (PWS-865-PQ)
  • AcBel P2G 1200W Model API-5121AP2 Switching Power Supply (testing report attached). Comes with Ablecom CS-G47A case.
