| 1135740 | 2010-09-09 02:39:00 | Got a HP desktop PC here with a faulty case fan – one of these lovely ones that you can’t turn off the warning in the BIOS about the fan not spinning. So, I need a 90mm fan with a 3 pin motherboard connector – today. Don’t have one the right size. Have a look at a 90mm fan with a two pin cable – notice that it has a 3rd unused lump of solder with ‘s’ written beside it on the back of the fan – figure s stands for signal, solder the 3 pin cable up to it. The fan spins fine but doesn’t send the speed signal to the PC. Checked the cable with a multimeter – it’s all making contact. Try another fan the wrong size but with a 3 pin connector, and the speed control/signal works fine. Figure that even though the solder point on the back of the two cable fan is there supposedly for the signal, it doesn’t actually work. Would that be the right assumption? :rolleyes: |

| 1135742 | 2010-09-09 03:48:00 | Yeah 92mm. Dove doesn't have any that size with a 3 pin connector as far as I can tell from their website. I've called dove to confirm, their only 92mm fan is a two pin. I'll call PB too in a minute. Edit: Connector: 3 pin molex... say what? :lol: pbtech.co.nz Susan is checking that now. Looks like it must be a 3 pin motherboard connect one - drama averted. |
