Yes, I have no idea why this is. It could be my Aerocool F6XT is the bad apple as it uses: 12Volt - Ground - Nothing - Nothing. To me, this makes sense if you are only going to do a 2 pin rheobus controller, right? I mean It kinda makes sense. I am learning that fan molex connector is different tha...

Another data point in this argument is the Antec 3480. This IS an ideal case for a fanless PSU - why ? - because the top compartment has a top ventilation grill (designed for the original Antec PSU.) Agreed. A passive power supply in that case is truly passive, not stealing system fan airflow. But ...

PWM signal splitting using 4-pin & 3-pin motherboard
What's the easiest way to connect two PWM fans to two motherboard fan connectors, one 4-pin and one 3-pin, with the PWM control in common (seperate power and monitor)? My first thought was to use two standard PWM fan splitters, cutting unwanted wires and solder splicing, as needed. But perhaps there...

that's a really strange request. I am trying to envision a need for that. I can't. why do you need it? If you're using a fan with extreme undervolting, down to 4V say, then the fan may not spin up, even though it runs just fine at 4V. So every time you power cycle the system, you have to remember t...

Fan controller with 12V spin up?
Are there any simple/cheap fan controllers that supply 12V at power on for a second or two, then switch to the selected voltage?

It's confusing because I understood that IPS panels have higher response times than TN ones, so are more likely to have this problem if that's what causes it. I can only guess that an IPS panel with a 5ms response time might have a better BTW/WTB time than a TN panel with a 5ms response time. Or el...

Drive sizes, doh!
I woke up from a nap today with a startling revelation. I will share it with you, free of charge. The width of a 5.25" drive is 5.75". The width of a 3.5" drive is 4". The "drive size" refers to the width of FLOPPY DISKS - not drives! 2.5" drives are 2.75" wide. What does the 2.5" refer to? Good que...

It occurred to me that most OEMs use decent cases for their PCs, and loads of used/faulty PCs are thrown out all the time. I've also noticed that Compaq use removable chrome fan grills like these on a few of their PCs (which is certainly preferable to a stamped metal). What do you think about reusi...

The SATA power connector has 3.3V but I'm wondering if any drives actually use it.
