| 429251 | 2006-02-11 05:44:00 | Would there be any device available on the market which can control a fan which is powered by a standard molex power connector? I have a Compaq Presario 6000 in which I just recently installed a 80mm case fan (after having to drill extra holes for it when I found it was the wrong size) but now my computer sounds like a vacuum cleaner! I can't use standard motherboard fans because in typical Compaq style there are no normal fan connectors there. I just want a device which can either control the fan's speed or at least switch it on and off because I only really need it when I'm doing intensive stuff. Any suggestions? |

| 429253 | 2006-02-11 05:55:00 | yes there are several on the market. Zalman have one, called FanMate, it's small, relatively inexpensive and manually controlled by turning a little knob. You'll need an adapter to run it from a Molex. If you want something that will control fan speed from the desktop or from a front panel. you'll pay a bit more. Everything you need is on [utl=http://www.quietpc.com/nz/casefansacc.html]this page at Quite PC.[/url] No doubt you can get the same gear elsewhere, it' just they have the info in a convenient format. |
