I HAVE ONE OF THOSE!!!!!!!!!!

it looks exactly like it!!! but iv ran mine off 12v... i found it in a old copying machine i tore apart!

if i go with a huge tank for cooling my water im gonna use it for that.... otherwize ill prob stick it on the side of my case blowing in....

JFettig · Apr 17, 2002

wait, mine is 8.25x1.75x1.75 but still blows quite a bit....

So how does it perform? I palt to use one of those to cool the back of my mobo

JFettig · Apr 17, 2002

it pushes a good amount of air, but remember its 24v so your not gonna get full voltage unless you mod your psu for 24v or get a diff psu.... id say mine pushes 30cfm? at 12v and VERY quiet....

Yeah, I had a question about that. Can't you just ute the mobo's -12v connectors together with the molex 12volt connectors to get 12- - 12=24?

You'd get 24V maybe, depending on whether your PSU thought it was a short or not. However, you've probably only got about 300mA on the -12v line

and that needs 280 of it, which could be a problem.

hook it up to a spare psu... thats what im gonna do to mine...

I've got many PSUs in my house so I'll probably do that. If the -12 line is not in use for anything else, is it going to be ok? Thanks.
