How do you make a delta 7000rpm fan go with 7v instead of 12v please post a link or explain for me someone
 
The yellow has 12 v. The red has 5 V. The black ones are ground, one for each.

Connect using the yellow and the red - not the blacks. This way you'll have 7 V!

Check my PRETTY picture attached, I think it says it all... the ones to the left is normal. The ones to the right is what you need to have 7 v.

[2]12 - 5 = 7 [/2]
 
Oh my God, I forgot to copy"write" that super picture! Anyway, picture above is a copyright(c)2001 of Allan Nielsen, LOL!

As if anyone would ever steal it anyway, hehe.

Hope it helps you out though!
 
Thanks alot are you a art worker becaus the pictures were great : )
 
Hehe, since it's you, I'll let you use it anywhere you want to, just be sure to add my name as the maker, and send me $10 in advance, will ya? lol
 
this is the funniest thread I have seen in a while. will somebody post the fake CPUID picture that always makes me laugh!

lol
 
Thanks a lot for the tip. I just did the 7v mod and my temps only went up one degree Celsius. I am running a pep66 with a 7k fan. Now the noise is hardly noticeable. My duron 600@1050 1.85v is now at 37 with no noise.
 
I did the mod by moving the pins in the molex 3to 4pin adapter so I didn't have to crip anyting and it only took about 1min the temps on teh wbk38 are about 3degrees higher but max at 40C! do you think I should just put on a 80mm fan at 12v rather than a delta at 7v.

I love the sound of my hard drive!
 
Well the goal is the most CFM at the lowest sound, So, if a 80mm at 12v puts out more air and less noise than a Delta at 7v, then I would go for it.

maybe I will but together an article that ed can put on the frontpage! something like The Taming of a Screamer for a title!
 
Thankyou, OMG i've been looking to buy an expensive rheostat convertor for ages, but could never find it. This post has just solved everything.

The problem with this forum is people know a lot about overclocking but never talk about what they know w/o someone asking. I think this site should have more How To articles and stuff.

I'm glad my pretty picture actually helped some of you out! :) Sometimes things are easier to understand from a drawing, even if it only took a couple of minutes to make.

Anyone voting for that picture in the t-shirt contest say: Yay! :)
[2]Just so I don't upset any mod: The voting thing is just a JOKE! lol [/2]
 
Yah I would vote for it but I think it needs a little photoshop time!

bump for a good easy mod!

BUMPO
 
Check out this site for some interesting schematics & projects (fanbus, switches w/leds & rheostats). He also sells the finished goods if you don't want the hassle.

Now I am not a big city lawyer, but don't you need a ground? Everyone says this works, but, I just wonder WHY it does?
