i got my pyramid smart fan controller today.
However, it diddnt take long for me to be dissapointed.
the blue glowing i knew about, i will deal with that later...However, when i forst took it out of the box i decided to first check it with my multimeter. So, i plugged it into my antec SP 400, and it rang up at 12.01 V. okay, so it doesnt appear to limit the voltage. o then plugged it into a fan and turned it on
DEAFNESS! this fan began emmitting a high pitched buzzing noise that was at least 4 times louder than the fan at regular speed (yet was going at a lower speed)
so i backprobed it and it was going at 10V, 68*F (no idea on C)
so its neon blue, spins my fans too fast for the temp, and makes some sort of voodoo noise come from my fan(s) (i tested it wiht both my antec fans and 4 noname fans, 280's and 292's from "the box" )
1) why is this buzzing? thats got to be the most annoying sound EVER! what could possibly cause this?
2) why would it be at 10V when the temp is so LOW? i would expect it to be nearly off if not off at that temp...
and finally...to compensate for the speed, if i were to get a potentometer and have a variable 12V going into the controller would it cut the max output by the % of the power cut going in? it uses the 5V for the controller itself...
