Is there any way I can run my XSPC Laing 18w pump at a voltage lower than 12v? It's pretty damn loud. I only bought it because the lower wattage version was out of stock and I needed my computer back up running quickly. I've got it sat on some foam to dampen the vibrations. My last XSPC pump (abeit less powerful) was silent but it eventually died.
I'm guessing it's powered straight from the psu as it draws too much current to be powered from the motherboard. tried the 7v mod but wasn't enough voltage to get it going.
I'd rather not get some resistor type unit installed as I don't like the idea of pointless heat generation. Might try doing a mod to the psu / 4pin connector to do 12v -3.3v = 8.7v.
If anyone has any better ideas please let me know
