Oceanborn Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Hey guys, I want to buy a XP-90 and a NMB-MAT (Panaflo) 92MM High Speed Cooling Fan to match it, but on the website it mentions that this fan doesn't have any sensor.... Does this mean the fan rotates at full speed all the time or would the mobo be able to control it's speed??? I know this maybe a stupid question, but i just wanna be certain of what I'm getting, cuz god knows I hate excessive noise... I know at of you have that fan so I was just wondering if someone can answer me that... thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkpthunter Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 If your mobo can control the speed of any fan, it will be able to control that fan too, you will just not be able to see its RPM. At least, thats what i think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComeUpon Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 Are you getting one with a three wire connector? If so, then yes, your motherboard will be able to control it and pull out information. If not, then your motherboard will still be able to control it, but will not be able to get any information from it. I may be wrong, but that's always how I've interpreted it.

Sideburns Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 I have a panaflo M1A with the 2 wires....and it doesn't control the speed as far as I can tell. It's always running full tilt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceanborn Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 Well, the one that I'm asking about says that is a 3 wire cable but there's no sensor...according to the website http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku...cture=Panasonic go figure.... I guess I'll just have to buy and see...if it's too loud I'll have to buy a different one... I don't mind loud, but BOEING 747 loud is out of the question...

Critter Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 Oceanborn, The website is misleading. I bought a low-speed and highspeed 92 mm from NCIX and they both have rpm monitoring. On a side note, if you live in Vancouver, I'll sell you mine cheap. Brand new, only being tested. I upgraded to a XP-120 for my new Opteron.

CPDMF Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 I have 6 of the NMB 120mm's in my box and they aren't too bad for noise, actually no worse than a decent 80mm. I have filters on the two front intakes and that cut the noise in half. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceanborn Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 Thanks for the info critter...unfortunetly I live in Montreal otherwise I'd purchase the one you have.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critter Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 Just make sure when you buy or order them they have the right fan number FBA09A12H-1BX. I only think they carry the one, but the website says 2 different things and the workers there don't seem to have much clue on occasion. Good luck.
