Allright, I hear you people say that Fans should be sucking air FROM the CPU instead of Blowing Air TO the Cpu (From the post does the motherboard Header burns out).
Just how exactly do you make it suck or blow, I mean, what do you just turn it over to make it, or is there a special way I havent heard off.
Btw as the previous poster he said he did not want to burn out his header, but if he uses a 3 pin to 4 pin adapter then he looses his ability to monitor the Cpu Fan speed.
I was wondering if this method works for monitoring Fan speed using the Motherboard headers:
1) Cut off an old 3 Pin connector from a used fan with all the Wires intact, just cut off the fan.
2) Connect it to the Mobo Header #1
3) With a knife, cut off the Blue wire and expose the wire.
4) The Delta 38 CFM fan to now goto the Heatsink, connect the 3 Pin adapter to a 4 Pin adapter.
5) Cut off the Delta's BLUE wire, with the wire exposed, cut only in the middle of the wire, so you can save for future reconnection.
6) Connect the 2 blue wires together. Use a non conductive tape, usually they are called electric tape, this is not some transparent tape or anything, this ensures to much heat will not burn off the tape.
7) Now that 2 blue wires are connected, power off the Puter and see if the monitoring works.
Well what do you guys think, will it work? I will test out out in 3 hours, once I pick up my new Cpu off the post office.
