    Looking for a =<21db fan with new Intel 4-Pin connector

    the new 4 wire fans are speed adjustable i have one in my Dell sc420. i don't think you will have much luck get a sub 21 dB fan that is speed controlled not right now anyway i have only seen one fan that has the four wire and it has the Dell plug so even that wouldn't work that good, i think...

    okay, dumb question: exactly what is the "PWM" temp?

    what temps are you getting? when i went to watercooling on my abit AN7 the PWM temps would get up to about 70c i installed a fan over them and now i get the same as case temp for the PWM.

    VANTEC Fan controller HELP!?

    i don't know what model you have but i think Gunz is wrong the nxp201/205 will not turn the fan off. i have a NXP-201 and at its lowest setting it is about 7 volts even very "stall happy" fans can run at that, most fans i have will run to 5 volt or less one thing to make sure is that if you use...

    Nexus controller work with these fans?

    the guts of the fan are the same as any other fan so as long as the fan controller has enough power for the fan (and it should) it will work fine i also don't see that the fans are variable speed they seem to be just aluminium case fans specs i get are for part # AL12025-4LD2-63...

    Actual head rates in a system

    its hard to determine head in a closed system becuase every inch you "pump" the water up is a inch it will "fall" down so you don't ignore the decline. most of the loss in flow comes from restritions like Tube size, waterblocks, fittings, radiators as for you example if you have a 36 FT...

    How much money does a cpu use?

    here in Maine i pay about 11 cents per kilowatt hour so if the computer i use draws 300 watts and was on 8 hours per day that would be 2.4 KW/H per day or about 72 KW/H per month (30 day month) it would cost me $7.92 per month also the 107 watt power spec on the Cpu is under max load and is...

    XP90 & Tornado 92mm for K8N Plat - question!!

    a tornado fan draws alot of power so only pwm style fan controllers will do, the aerogate II is PWM. i have hooked up my tornado to 5 volts and this works well also you can do the 7 volt trick and that keeps the noise down. i my self have a vantec NXP-201 fan controller and that works well...

    i have no where to plug in my psu fan! what should i do?

    a vantec tornado draws at least 25 watts on startup and the fan header on a motherboard is only good for 6 watts at most if the plug coming form the power supply only has one wire (a yellow one) then you don't need to plug it in. If it has all 3 wire then if it is not plugged in that might...

    the 12V rail don't usauly help the CPU unless it is very over-stressed but you didn't say what PSU you have now so i can't say if i think a bigger one would be worthwile.
