Thor. Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) Hello i have come across a interesting thread that mentions fan speed adapters changes with dlna, slower fan speed for high performances fans like Noctua. unlike standard fans with 4 pin adapters there are some with mods and slower speed to cut down the noise output. I couldn't come across the actual name of the adapters in mind. Crossed or not crossed wires which is a strange mod?? http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=35-608-004 http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php/372297-Guide-to-the-7v-Fan-Mod http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812311003&cm_re=5v_fans-_-12-311-003-_-Product Edited March 25, 2015 by Thor.

HeyYou Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 If the fans are controlled by the system board, they will run at a speed that is adequate to keep temps in an 'acceptable' range. (not sure who defines just what is acceptable though....) So if you have a highly efficient fan, it simply won't run flat out. Using something to purposely slow your fans seems counter-productive to me. (and then there is always the possibility that the system board will simply compensate for the higher temp, by trying to run the fan faster yet....)
