modyfying the Thermal take Xblower speed controll
This is a discussion about modyfying the Thermal take Xblower speed controll in the Slack Space category; I have a thermaltake xblower fanspeed controller. . . it controlls the smart case fan. I tried to modify it so i could plug a regular fan. . . i soldered it to the 12 volt rail of the 12volt molex. The fan spins if the knob is turned to about 80-100%, but lower than that the fan stalls.
I have a thermaltake xblower fanspeed controller...it controlls the smart case fan. I tried to modify it so i could plug a regular fan...i soldered it to the 12 volt rail of the 12volt molex. The fan spins if the knob is turned to about 80-100%, but lower than that the fan stalls. What do I have to do so i can controll it from the minimum all the way up to the maximum setting of the knob? any easy solution? also if i plug the thermaltake smartcase fan...its much more slower...

i see
whats prolly happening is that the amp loading of the fan and the resistance of the rheostat is overloading the 12v header.
u could switich it to the 12v coming out of the ps should help

can you explain to me in detail what to do? thanks
it's the same exact thing that u did but instead of plugging it into the mobo u plug it into the big power connectors coming from the power supply.
the same connector that u use to plug into the hard drives etc.
the power is the same but the direct line to the power supply has the amps u need to do what u want
