So I got this new PSU, hoping it'll fix some recent stability problems right..not to mention I have another comp that has no psu, so now I can run two comps. Anyway
So SmartGuardian is reporting 11.77 on the 12v, 3.24v on the 3.3. These are kinda low aren't they?
Now another thing..I plugged in all my fans, (2 case 80mm case fans in the back that are plugged into a fan controller), (1 120mm fan infront that is in the front, that has a hdd power plug), two other fans that have hdd power plugs (these came with the case), and then 1 last card fan that also has a plug for hdd.
So basically, 4 hdd fans, and 2 that can plug into the mobo, but are in a fan controller.
So anyway, the 4 hdd fans seem kinda weak. 1 isn't even working, the slot fan is so dim and barely spinning, even on full blast, etc..and I'm wondering what is going on ? Is it because I tried to st ack a few of th em on each "fan only" connector on the psu? should it be actually running all hese? I thought 550 would be able to kick *** on this
=======
well my suspecion was right..I plugged all 4 into each other on one real hdd power connector.. and they're all humming and spinning. I noticed that on the "fan only" connectors, there's only two metal prongs inside..wonder what is up with that?
Am I running any danger, plugging them all into 1 strip? because it's also that strip that plugs into fan controller as well.. I'm guessing no, but doesn't hurt to ask.
