TigerWylde Posted June 3, 2006 Posted June 3, 2006 Nope, I haven't done that for a while. Fan controllers make such things easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lec666 Posted June 3, 2006 Posted June 3, 2006 i have everthing on a controller except the chipset fan, and low noise/rpm case fans plug directly to the psu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLo Posted June 3, 2006 Posted June 3, 2006 Question: If you are plugging the fan into the PSU, (via molex adaptor) is it better to plug it into a connector that is attached to somthing, or one that has nothing on it? Also I have connectors that say 'fan only' (Antex TpII 480 W) but the have only 2 pins in them, are these better to power the fans with? Thnx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndoe25 Posted June 3, 2006 Posted June 3, 2006 I'm like a few others with the 9500, I have it plugged into the MB so it's controled by the CPU temp. Also the chipset HSF is plugged into the MB. My two 120's are powered by the PSU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott P Posted June 4, 2006 Posted June 4, 2006 My Zalman 7000B-AlCu is plugged into the board while my three 120 mm Antec Tri-Cool Fans are powered by a fan controller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesaonar Posted June 4, 2006 Posted June 4, 2006 Only fan connected to my board is the Evercool. Rest are all connected to the fan controller. Ditto Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsAs1n8eR Posted June 4, 2006 Posted June 4, 2006 I use the mobo headers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thasp Posted June 4, 2006 Posted June 4, 2006 I don't since the DAGF has no auto fan control stuff(say, when CPU goes above 50c make fan go faster), so I connect all my fans to my fan controller which is connected to a 4 pin molex connector straight out of my PSU. I have about seven fans in all connected to the fan controller. The exhaust fan I connected to my PSU, the case exhaust fan, the case intake fan, the chipset fan, the CPU fan, the fan blowing on the CPU heatsink's heatpipes and the motherboard, and the gfx card fan. It's a sunbeam fan controller, it stays cool with all these fans running at full 12v, and runs them all at full speed when I ask it to. It's under $10 so I highly recommend it.

Kandoo Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 I ues a Sunbeam fan controller for my case fans and a Akasa all in one unit for my CPU and Videocard, but run the sensor wire from both to the mobo inorder to read fan speed in mbm5. VC-RE plugged into mobo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumpman Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 I have my cpu fan and my chipset fan connected to my mobo, the others are connected (via pass thru adapter) @ seven volts to a common molex.

TigerWylde Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 used to plug in all my fans onto mobo..this "fan controller" things seems like interesting.. gonna have one sooner or later... It's a lot easier than trying to find molex's or chance blowing fan headers. You're going to love it. :nod: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
