Got a couple of 92mm fans from a Dell XPS, Nidec Beta V TA350DC. I want to hook them up to standard 3 pin connectors or molex.
Pinout here and another thread I found discussing a similar problem here.
Theres 4 wires Blue, Black, Red and White. The fan will run if red and black are connected to 12v and Ground respectively, but very loud. It wont run on at all on 5v, is there some way to make it run but at a reasonable RPM.
The fan is rated at 12v 2.3A, does this mean it wont run on anything lower than 12v? the other thread mentions 1.5a being high and using resistors to lower the power or grounding to 5v, never heard of doing that, it sounds unconventional.
any advice welcome
