If my case fans run at their normal 2500rpm speed when connected to any of the mobo fan headers or Molex connections, can I push the fans to go faster if they are instead connected to a good fan controller. I'm thinking of getting the Akasa Fan Controller Pro and it would be nice if I could get...

What happens if I add a second fan to one of the lines on a (Vantec Nexus - 4-channel) fan controller ? TIA Q

I bought a fan controller for four fans. Was disappointed with it, as the sensors, while small, are much too big to mount between the CPU socket and the CPU (XP3000). Definitely not designed for CPU temp monitoring! There are definitely tiny sensors designed for this, such as the one which...

Hi all, Does anyone out there use any a fan control/system monitor panel like the CoolDrive4 or Silverstone Eudemon? I'm putting a new system together in a week or so and wondered if they were actually of any use or just flashy, shiny things to point at and go "ooooh"? I'll be using a Wavemaster...

I've been looking around at fan controllers for my system and I found one that I liked http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduct.asp?description=13-999-214 My question: Does anyone out there have any experience with this one? Or does anyone have any recommendations? I've got 3 x 80mm exhaust fans...

The chipset fan on my Abit NF7 died a couple of weeks ago. I'm running a mobile Barton 2500+ at 2.34ghz. How critical is this fan, and are negative consequences likely if I do not replace it? Thank you, jake

I just took the stock heatsink and put a 80mm fan tunnel on it. What I was wondering was which way should the fan blow on it or off it? Thanks Jay

Can anyone recommend a better fan for an Athlon 2600+ than the stock AMD fan I'm currently using? Thanks, Alan --

Thanks to all previous responses to my query concerning whether to purchase an XP3000 (many recommended overclocking the XP2500 instead). I am considering a Vantek Aeroflow fan for the XP2500. Would it be sufficient cooling for overclocking to 3200? Larry *************** remove "fake" from email...

Last night I read reviews for this heat sink and I'm convinced it's the way I'm going to go for HSF. It will only take a 92mm fan. Is it possible to get some kind of adapter to put a 120mm fan on this sink? I really like the Panaflo's (I have 5 on my case now and have one extra that's not in use...

hey all, got a bit of a dilemma with my box. i've got a fan controller on the front, and i've plugged my cpu fan into this. This of course means, that my MB tells me about the lack of cpu fan every time it boots...luckily this doesn't stop it booting, but it is a bit annoying. i was wondering if...

I am buying an SLK 800 heatsink. The non U. I will buy a fan control for $10 from a website. I need a fan for the heatsink tho. I'm getting the controller since im in a dorm at night it'd be nice to slow it down to keep room mate peace. Can someone reccomend a fan for my heatsink im going to...

Has anyone tried the Jet 7 Coolermaster fan? Is it noisy? How well does it work on a 2500+ o/c to 3200?

I have a motherboard that I wish to convert to liquid cooling for silence. However, the chipset and CPU fan header inputs must show a fan speed value to boot. Without these leads connected the speaker gives a solid tone. (I connected the power without the sensor lead to validate this...

I am running an AMD Athlon XP 2000+ I think it is running at either 1.6 or 1.8 Ghz In an effort to reduce noise, I removed the factory fan/heatsink and replaced it with a "Cooler Master X Dream II" which claims to have less than 24dBA of noise. I want to reduce the noise from my fan a bit further.

I have a volcano 12....which is supposed to run at 5500 rpm. The BIOS, speedfan and MBM all say that it runs at 2700 RPM....should I trust this info ?

Anybody got any links to fan voltage mods - 7v - 5v ? TIA Q

Hello, I'm looking for a fanless graphic card cooler. I've seen Zalman ZM80D, thermaltake fanless VGA Does someone knows what solution I could use on a quadro FX1400 ? There are the four holes for install dissipator but are thoses systems sufficients with quadro (with a correct case...

Can anyone explain the mechanics of operation of Asus' overclocking scheme. The bios definitions are skimpy and I would like to know what I am doing first: 1. What is the difference between "Auto", "Standard" and "Adaptive Overclocking". Right now my system is set to "auto" - what does that mean.

need a good link to learn all about PCI-E
