Yeap, it works but it will spin at 100% duty on most regular mobo,
but latest Asus ROG mobo can auto detect whether if the fan is pwm or 3 pins, because it has a switch on the pwm fan header.
while Gigabyte mobo can change between PWM and voltage mode on BIOS, but i tried on their 890FX UD7 only, other mobo not too sure  sweat.gif
*
Wow, that means latest mobo fan header can control both voltage n pwm?! rclxms.gif

Thanks for ur info. I'll need to research more on this

erm..120 jetflo is good?.in review it say this fan is really good.airflow is massive.i want find good intake fan.dont care about noise.
*
probably good for intake and exhaust, but I'd recommend the Silverstone AP series for intake, the Jetflos can be used as an exhaust wink.gif

You could grab Enermax T.B. Vegas Trio. Has better airflow, got 3 color and multiple lightning styles. And easy to clean with detachable blades.

I'm not sure why many recommends Bitfenix fans but based on my experience, its difficult to clean. I owned several fans such as Enermax, Noctua, Fractal and Coolermaster, and found it easier to clean with Enermax detachable fans.
*
true that detachable fans are easier to clean, probably people are siding to the others due to the costs? or maybe they're easier to find

QUOTE(1024kbps @ Feb 16 2014, 01:44 PM)
For your case, that is. but PWM fan are always better, PWM fan has no cold start problem, meaning you dont have to worry about your fan cant spin if the supplied voltage is too low. non-pwm fan may have already stop spinning.
*
+1, you could also plug it into a 3-pin header to be used as a normal fan, no biggie smile.gif

QUOTE(ntw @ Feb 17 2014, 01:33 AM)
So i guess you r saying that 3pin non-pwm fan can also work on 4pin pwm header.. But in voltage mode the fan can work but the fan speed can't be controlled right?
*
it works the other way around too wink.gif PWM function will be neglected but some mobos have voltage controls built in that you could tweak on the desktop smile.gif the tech is not new and has been around since the days of AMD AM3 and Intel CoreII generations of motherboards but they were not ideal at the time bugs to bugs and whatnot smile.gif

buy y splitter, http://www.gelidsolutions.com/products/ind...=2&cid=11&id=63 fan splitter has some limitation, cant connect too much fan else the fan cable melt or mobo spoil, while pwm splitter cannot control more than 5 PWM fans simultaneously.
or get a fan controller.

This thing normally comes with the fan you've bought, perhaps you can give Jayacom/Viewnet a try?

please recommend me 120mm fans using fluid bearing with good static pressure for use on heatsink, also need to be compatible with heatsink fan clips and below rm50. sweat.gif

reason: the xigmatek xaf's (sleeve bearing) are starting to produce weird sound after just a few months use doh.gif

I can only think of Artic F12 and BitFenix Spectre Pro that's below RM50, others like the BeQuiet silent wings and Scythe Kama flow 2 is harder to find and not too sure of the SRP

Guys, I've been looking for a 200mm case fan that has no LED, and preferably black.
Among these two, the Bitfenix Spectre Pro and the CM Megaflow, which do you guys prefer?

P.S, I'm using the Bitfenix Prodigy non-M case. Maybe gonna change to the Corsair 250D soon.

Unfortunately you're right, the spectre pros have a column through the mounting holes to make the outer frame rigid, some fanclips will hug the fans on the outer frame but in the case of the venomous-x it is not so
