yeah, if you look at the equations at the bottom, power goes up with the third power in relation to rpm. whippin' and drivin' that much air takes some oomph. connect that fan to any normal motherboard, and you're going to burn out your fan header pretty much immediately (especially since inrush current is probably even higher than the steady state).

For those interested, the equations are also known as fan or pump affinity laws:
