All,
I currently have a mountain mods case with 17 fans, that I built around 2008, some of the "Yate Loon 120mm High Speed Performance UV Blue Case Fan with Blue LED - D12SH-124UB - Sleeved" are starting to make noise. So I have decided to start looking for new fans, I just bought a new fan for a test "Cooler Master High Performance SickleFlow 120mm Blue LED Fan - R4-L2R-20AC-GP". I have 3 fan controllers from Koolance CTR-CD10BK. Two of these controllers also control 2 pumps. I pulled out one of the old Yate Loon fans and put in the cooler master fan to test it. On the controller I can set the speed from level 1 through 10. The cooler master fan will ONLY work on level 10. I don't know why. I put back in the Yate Loon and it works fine, I can adjust the speed. Did I get the wrong fan? Are these newer fans built differently? Any suggestions on fans since I've been out of it for so long?
I usually run the 17 fans on level 3 or 4 most of the time.
Tried to find cause:
1. I have also made sure I used the fan controller that does not have a pump running on it to see if the cooler master fan will work and still same result, just level 10.
2. I have also removed other Yate Loon fans off the wire harness to see if too many fans were running on it and see if the cooler master fan would work with less fans but still same result, just level 10.
Was this just a bad fan?
Thank you
