IShb3w Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 ok so i got my Delta fan in today (http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/de12tfexhisp.html) and i plug it into the 4 pin molex that my side intake fan was plugged into, and everything is running fine for about 10 minutes then my modem and my computer turn off, so i turn the computer back on and i get no display on the monitors. so i clear the cmos just by moving the jumper for 15 seconds, didnt work, so i did the 10 minute one and still didnt work, so i re routed alot of my wiring so i could use my other Sli power connector and it worked fine... my question is.. did this beast of a fan kill the wire and why just that one plug why not several others? should i plug the fan back in or just say screw it and stay with what i had? i was running 2.65gz at about 90F idle, so with this fan i was hoping for 2.8..

SeanDude05 Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 Sorry, I mis-read. I dont understand what wire you say burnt out and what SLI wire your talking about. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IShb3w Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 Um... Do NOT Plug that fan into your motherboard. I'm surprised you didnt fry the fan circuits with that thing, it draws 29 watts, our fan circuits combined are only rated something near 7. And you plugged it INTO the four-pin floppy drive connector???? LOLLLL nooo, i plugged it into a regular 4 pin molex from the power supply, im thinking maybe it drew too much power off that rail and killed that sli wire, but the otehr sli wire is fine, this is why im confused and thinking maybe it was just a coincidence that it decided to die all of a sudden Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IShb3w Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 yeah i dont really know what to call it, but i call it "sli wire" its just the 6 pin connector for my video card, my psu supports SLI so thats just what i called it, it has two of the 6 pin black connectors... i can take a picture if you need me to Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IShb3w Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 PCIe power connectors And what's this? AMD64 X2 3800+ Winchester lol whoops i used to have a 3200 winchester, i must have overlooked it when i changed it to the 3800, hahahah Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IShb3w Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 is there anyone else at this board that has used this fan? i need input! can an admin change the thread title maybe so i can find out who has this fan? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reinvented Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 It's a pretty beefy fan. But, very doubtful that it could have killed your system. I'm not very familiar with your PSU, but if it in fact has multiple +12v rails, try and find an empty rail (not hooked up to anything else) and see if it works.

Burleyboy Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 What model of Delta do you have? 29 watts? I have the EFB1212le and according to their specs it only draws 1.92w and .16 amps. I don't see how you could burn a PCI-E rail on this power supply by overloading a different molex rail, not likely, but anythings possible. Wow, I just read your other post and saw what model you have. That thing pulls an unbelievable 29.40w and 2.45 amps, theoretically it shouldn't cause a problem, but still. That has got to be loud. I would consider . canning that thing and getting one of the low speed tri-blades. They move a ton of air and are reasonably quiet and pull a hell of a lot less watts and amps.

ooztuncer Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 Why did you open two threads, none of them belongs to correct section? One is under modifications, other under overclocking - ask one of the mods to merge two threads and put under correct section like nf4 or off-topic. This will help you cuz more people might hit ur thread. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
