I just 7v modded all my case fans, and the drop in volume was well worth the mod. However, the fan on my Volcano 7+ is still really noisy. The switch that came with it to alter the speed hasnt worked properly from day 1, so I thought instead Id make a molex adaptor to 7v mod the fan, that just plugged in between the fan wire and the PSU, so that if my temps went up by too much all Id have to do was unplug it. When the convertor is connectoed, the comp posts fine, the cpu fan spins ok (not too noisy either) but it wont boot. It gets all the way to the win XP "welcome" screen, then shuts itself down. Without the connector, everythings fine. Any ideas whats causing it? BTW, to make the connecotr, I took a molex socket, and inline crimped the red and yellow wires to the yellow and black wires on a molex plug.
