flashystylez Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 For one of my folding boxes, I have an XP chip with a Volcano 7+ on it, and I lost the fan adjuster, so its running at FULL speed all the time, and sounds like an airplane. I was wondering how you make it slower? I remember doing this to my delta fans, but I dont remember the process. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 buy a 7v fan speed limiter? buy a fan speed inline resistor? buy a fan controller? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fire_storm Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 Theres also fan speed controler software. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Posted January 1, 2006 Posted January 1, 2006 You can make one yourself real ez in like 5 mins - i did when i had my 92mm tornado on full blast after my controller fried. Just take an old psu or something to get a male molex and a fan for a female one, and jump the two outside wires on the female (ground and 12v) to the two left side ones on the male. Here lemme make a quick paint to show you cuz that sounds hard to understand... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savan Posted January 1, 2006 Posted January 1, 2006 are you sure thats a good idea?, 12 out of the psu conected to 5 out of the psu doesnt make a whole lot of sience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

anthony Posted January 1, 2006 Posted January 1, 2006 Puck's 5v/7v/12v method would work very well, but for more flexibility, you could solder a variable resistor onto it.. essentially it is a fan controller.. just a very ghetto one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
