paulktreg Posted December 7, 2010 Posted December 7, 2010 Thanks for the nice find! Although that is just resistors and a switch really, its in a useable form so i will definitely look for it in sweden I can't tell how it's wired exactly but because it uses diodes and not resistors I suspect the fan voltage settings will be something like 12V, 10V and 8V for high, medium and low. Each diode, probably something like the 1N4001 or similar, will drop approximately 0.6V~0.75V each so three used for each step.

ARandomOWL Posted December 7, 2010 Posted December 7, 2010 Yes Paul, they seem to be 1N400x. A very cheap regulator with poor efficiency, but that's another discussion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabrielT Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Yes Paul, they seem to be 1N400x. A very cheap regulator with poor efficiency, but that's another discussion. But isn't that exactly what he was going to have any way? This way he gets one that is already put together that he can change quickly and not have to do any real wiring.

ARandomOWL Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Yes, I wasn't arguing with that. Just making a comment. It's a cheap and simple solution that works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabrielT Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 By the way I just bought the fan controller I recommended. I have it hooked up to two Xigmatech 1500rpm fans and it works really good. It doesn't get hot to the touch even. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
