7volts

i seem to recall an article where ed wired a fan to run at 7 volts instead of 12 in order to slow it and the noise down a bit. am i having a senior moment or can someone refer me to an article so i can wire a 120mm fan like that.

do a general cooling forum search for 7 volt fan mod and you will find what you are looking for. good luck.

Here you go. really easy to follow too.http://www.overclockershideout.com/7voltmod.shtml

ty dem1an for asking that Q i was looking for that and thank u mamer for the linky

thanks for the link; although, the lesson was good (+12v - 5v = 7v), it looked to me like that is a lot of butchering for not much gain. i looked at their mod and here is what i did. i had alread bought a pin puller from radioshack. i just pulled the 2 center black wires (returns) coming from the psu and taped them off. i then moved the red wire next to the yellow wire and that was it. i personally didn't like all the intermediate connectors and cutting they did. just buy a pin puller.

daym... that link is a HUGE overcomplification... my baybus probably took almost as long to make

and the pin-pulling idea is the perfect solution...

Exactly what I did this weekend to slow down my 120mm Panaflow
