| 414782 | 2005-12-22 06:29:00 | Hey guys, I have just acquired a Panaflo 92mm fan the model is a FBA09A12H It appears to be in good condition but my only problem is that there is no power cable that connects the fan to the mobo or fan header. It's a 3 prong connector, I've had a look at some computer stores but none seem to stock this connector. So having said that I'm appealing to any Panaflo fan owners who may have a connector cable that I can have... I am willing to pay a small sum for the cable. If you do have one pm me me or reply to this thread. Cheers chiefnz |

| 414783 | 2005-12-22 08:37:00 | The only thing I can think of is going to DSE, getting the 'Nylon Plug & Socket Disk Drive' Code: P5120, and wiring it up to fit the correct voltages. The tricky bit is putting the metal pins onto the wire. (I jammed the skin of my finger with the wire cutting bit of a pair of pliers. Use needle nose pliers.) I'm looking at a couple of Panaflow fans here and the ones I have got use a 4 pin square plug similar to the ones that Intel motherboards need for extra juice. |

| 414784 | 2005-12-22 09:15:00 | Do you mean it's a Molex connector or a non-standard fan connector? You can buy 3 pin fan (header) connectors from Tricky Dickies, I have some here. They're a bit fiddly but possible even for a clutz at soldering like me. Just make sure you know which wires are which, I bought a few 80mm NMB that used different colour coding convention and diffrent location for pin 1 and subsequently the monitoring wire :o The first fan I tried fried before it fried anything else luckily. BTW, that model code looked familiar, but I couldn't find it here (home.hccnet.nl). Unfortunatel that link is German, I did have an English version which had a downloadable spread sheet with the results of running the fans at different voltages. Stuffed if I know where it's got to, maybe the fact that it's about six reloads and half a system ago has something to do with that :confused: Silent PC Review (http://www.silentpcreview.com/) is a handy site. Another I haven't visited in a while, I had to block a couple of ads before it would load properly, ferkin slow as otherwise. |

| 414785 | 2005-12-22 09:46:00 | Do you mean it's a Molex connector or a non-standard fan connector? Its a square shaped (not standard rectangular) four pin plug. With two square pins and two D shaped pins. I think with some power supplies they provided an extra 12volts to the mobo. |

I should have shown a bit more clarity in my post Bob, I should know better that not every body uses the same page view as well, anywho: I was actually asking Chiefnz in relation to only problem is that there is no power cable that connects the fan to the mobo or fan header. It's a 3 prong connector , although I thought he must've seen a Molex before, can't really miss em can you. Mind, there's so many extra demands for direct power feeds it's getting a bit silly isn't it. If a modern boards supply can't handle, say, a graphics card, isn't it time they lifted their game? |

| 414787 | 2005-12-22 10:03:00 | Ahh, well in that case Murray, I think the plug he has looks VERY similar to the standard 3pin fan plug but either larger or smaller than it. Then again I could be wrong :xmouth: |

| 414790 | 2005-12-22 21:06:00 | Sorry for the delay guys, The connector I'm referring to is on the actual fan it is white in colour and has 3 prongs. It looks very similar to an analog audio connector you get with optical drives. Hope that helps. cheers chiefnz |

| 414791 | 2005-12-22 22:13:00 | it could be te same as the old intell fan connectors. some computer places may have a few lieing around. otherwise see if an audio connector will fit and wire it up yourself. | tweak'e (69) | ||
