got it in today...good stuff i might add...im just scared for my cpu fan hope no knuckle heads fools around with it and turns it off

Korndog · Dec 3, 2003

yea, u probably don't want to hook up important fans, like the cpu fan to it.

bigsoomo · Dec 3, 2003

yeah but its a dam loud fan...but i did happen to try to pull out the the whole tray by the knob..and it fell off...the plus is its the cpu fan...lol

archilochus · Dec 3, 2003

LOL like who?

Tape the nob down with some tape.No just kidding.I prefer to have my HSF on a seperate control on the rear of the case.The case fans are controlled in zones.Also a point of interest,have you read the sticky on the 1st page at the top(sort of) of cooling?Put your fans on a seperate curcuit!!

hey by putting them on a different circuit...ther pretty much saying put it on another line right? should i hook up the cdroms to the fans? or how should i do it

archilochus · Dec 4, 2003

Heres the kink to the sticky. The idea is to wire the fans to a dedicated line off of the PSU.You dont want it sharring with your drives or mobo.Tell me your fan positions and how many and where they are located. I'll give you a recommended setup.

STICKY LINK

bigsoomo · Dec 4, 2003

yeah i read the link and almost **** my pants!...i have a 120mm intake one rear and the top. my psu has 4 4pin molex connectors and 2 hd's and 2 cdroms/rw...

archilochus · Dec 4, 2003

Ok, I would use one line for the fans.One line for the optical drives.One line for the HDD,s.You should have one left over.How many amps and watts are your 120mm fans rated at? How do you have your HSF wired up? THE FANMAN

PS: It would help if you gave me the amps per +12, +5 +3.3
voltages on your PSU,s case.

bigsoomo · Dec 4, 2003

my 120mm stealth is rated at 0.96w its the vantec stealth...i have my hsf on the motherboard pin...when i had everything hooked up my computer wouldnt even boot up...then i took it off the plugs and it started up again...so i jus ended up pluggin my hsf to the mobo...and heres the link to the psu i have

psu right here

thanks man

bigsoomo · Dec 4, 2003

o yeah i forgot i have a Y connector for the harddrives...but the extra molex goes to my fans...? good or bad...i attached a drawing of my psu wires...

archilochus · Dec 4, 2003

Hate to say this but you need a better PSU! Ok, how many separate lines with the molex conn's do you have coming from the PSU.These lines or curcuits will have the four wires/ 2 blk,1yell.,1org.or red.From your PSU diagram it looks like you only have 2 curcuits or lines.If this is true I would recommend you get a diff,better PSU.I can recommend one for you if you'd like!

hey thanks man im getting a new case sometime next week its the antec slk3700amb...wutcha think?

edit:linkagecase right HERE!

archilochus · Dec 4, 2003

I think its awesome.I would upgrade the power supply to at least a 400 watt.The case supports 2 x 120mm case fans,nice! Do you see what I mean by putting your devices on diff. PSU curcuits.That case is going to make a fine rig. I looked at the PSU that comes with the case.It appears to have 3 curcuits.It says 6 into to 8 .Hopefuly there are 3. Let me know how it goes.
THE FANMAN

PS: You need to get one of these fan adapters to get your HSF power from the PSU.

ADAPTER LINK

bigsoomo · Dec 4, 2003

hey arch i have a 3-4 pin adapter..should i just run that into my psu or mobo header?

johan851 · Dec 4, 2003

Into your PSU. Putting big/powerful fans on the CPU header can blow the header out.

bigsoomo · Dec 4, 2003

oooo i see thanks

archilochus · Dec 5, 2003

Soomo,Heres a link to a wiring diagram to show how to wire your HSF and have the rpm wire go to mobo. THE FANMAN
