sp- another thing.. rather than blow money on a controller just connect the fan to a 7v line. instant speed control :ohyeah:

Duh this idea's rather crap.

Sunny suggested me this long back; tried and ended up with a system that doesn't power on. :|

Thank god I didn't snip the 3pin connectors from the fan.

While doing this u're feeding the 5V back into the PSU which again's harmful. Not recommended. While this may work with cheapo stuff.

oikay.. one sumall error in my previous post. run it at 5V is what i should have posted and not 7v. I've never tried 7v... also.. there are lotsa ppl who use it and use it without any issues.

for 5v, all you need to do is change the fan's 12v yellow wire to the 5v red colored pin on the molex connector.
 
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Where the heck did that come from

You seem some kind of dummy member.

whatta lamer :| just because you screwed up, the idea's bad?? ROFL, I have a monster NMB running on 7V, and I just have stuck the barewires inside 4pin molexes! not even soldered/joined stuff. Running liek that since ALL ETERNITY.​

People like you who do not know how to connect simple wires should refrain from doing such complex tasks such as cutting wires :|​

Tell that to all of XtremeSystems, OCF etc people who run 7V on their radiator fans :|I'd really want me to see you make a thread there with that, and read all those comments the people put in. Will be better entertainment than reading religious/ati nvidia/apple wars :rofl:

Take it easy Sunny. I never said your idea is wrong. :)

I meant those may not work for all the fans. It refused to work with the ones I've.

As per your suggestion, I did the right thing and it was working but once the system's powered on after it was shut down, it refused to start. The pwr/hdd indicators kept blinking. (Not that I dont know to connect simple wires and stuff. I've done a lot of soldering stuff related hobbies. Heck, I can say I wasn't bad at it compared to your work!)

Even Bikey suggested me the same. Not to do that. You need not pour all your malice on me for that. :P
 
First of all, I aplogise for going overboard.

Please explain this. Especially the cheapo stuff :)

How can that be a problem because of 7V? Why did it work in the first place?
