Hi all I turned on my computer today and could smell burning, as you could imagine i was very worried and quickly shut it down to take a look inside. I noticed that the smell was coming from the rheobus i checked it out and found one of the main resistors near the fan plugs had completly fried, now only 2 of the 4 channels work . I was not running anywhere near the maximum load for each channel which is 20w here is what i was running:-
channel 1- 70mm tmd fan 3.84w
channel 2- 50mm fan 1.44w
channel 3- 120mm fan 6.96w
channel 4 - 3x 80mm fan 5.04w combined
The rheobus has been running perfectly for about 6 months the channels which dont work were pretty much always at 7v, maybe the resistor just died from the stress. Anyway im going to try and fix it as im am ok with a soldering iron I just dont know what value resistor is needed. I already contacted sumbeam and they do not reply lol i dont even think they accept returns/rma. If anyone knows the type of resistor needed it would be a great help.
Thanks
