I have a 12cm fan... And it is very fast and also screaming very loud... Louder than vizo's windstorm... sweat.gif
My mobo detected around 5000rpm... but i really think it does twice of that speed... maybe.... hmm.gif
I found that those normal fan controller some forumer sell just doesn't cut it for the job... it literally crippled the fan speed to only 20-30%.. which is even on full speed it still spin slower than normal silent 12cm fan... sweat.gif
I guessed that mine are industrial purposes cooling fan... laugh.gif
It can reduce my temperature 10°C +/-... flex.gif
So that is my story.

Now... I'm not that good at electrical stuff, but i still know few tricks...
So, What shall i do to regulate or control the speed/voltage so i can control the speed..?
Should i buy those wall socket light dimmer..? will it works..?
Btw, this fan have 4 wire... Normally we get RED, BLACK & YELLOW... but i have another BLUE wire...






P/S: I'm forced to wear headphone.... cool.gif
