I actually done that. But a poster in this thread said you can't plug windstorm in MOBO or fan controller coz it is more than 1 amp. Too high...
And, is it ok to connect the windstorm to the sys-fan1 on the mobo without damaging it?

Here is the post (post 345 by madman)

How would you position a 8cm fan to cool a hdd?

Coz my HDD still at 60 -70 C.

yeah i posted that.... and no...do not connect the windstorm to ANY ports on ur mobo. as for fan controllers will depend on the controller's max amp as well... so if the windstorm amp is 1A and ur controller's amp is a TOTAL of 1A. then u can only connect 1 windstorm la. anymore (even low amp fans) and u risk burning ur controller.

why not just connect the windstorm directly to ur PSU?? also the post u directed to i also mentioned a 12v / 7v switch...u can make that to help control ur speed...only thing is... the damn pix are down and i cant find it anywhere anymore

Crap... I connected the windstorm rpm detector to the mobo. Its a single small yellow wire with a 3 pin small white head...
1 week de.... Good or bad?

And not sure what you mean by connect it directly to PSU. I thought the molex can only connect to PSU?


P/S: My fan controller is CM Musketeer. Don't know what is the controller's amp...

oh...if ONLY RPM then ok.....

what i mean is power source CANNOT be from mobo and MUST be from PSU.

if your fan has molex, just connect straight to PSU.
if your fan has the small 3pin connector, u need to connect it to adaptor so that it becomes molex. this step is only needed if your PSU has no 3pin conncetor

there is something i want to ask...

I bought a 120mm evercool case fan as rear fan while the stock 120mm CM fan (that comes with the C5 casing) i put it in between 5" bay to use as intake fan...however i realized that the RPM for the CM fan is slower compare when it is used as rear exhaust fan...the CM fan was spinning around 1200rpm (when used as rear exhaust fan) now only spinning around 800rpm (front intake fan)...I connect the CM 3-pin to the mobo directly, @ 4-pin that says "sys_fan"...can anyone know why the rpm is slower? I don't think stock 120mm CM fan have thermal sensor...

if I connect directly to power supply, will the 120mm CM fan spin at max rpm?

some mobos, different fan headers will have different power output hence different fan speeds.

connecting direct to power supply will give u max rpm.

thanks, I'll try to connect the fan direct to the PSU...

Hello PC Fan Enthusiasts,

A normal Casing Fan with 7 pieces of blades is not good enough. There are drawbacks with using this type of fan; it is very noisy at high RPM (3k ~ 6k RPM) and the CFM (30 ~ 60 CFM) is not significantly "good enough".

Overcoming this problem is simply by using a multiblade fan (more than 12 blades) at a proper pitch angle concealed in a aerodynamically designed duct revolving at the same RPM as the normal casing fan and yet very quiet. If you increase the RPM to extremely high RPM, you'll get very high flow rate at high pressure. That is inducing a forced air into the CPU casing and yet pushing out the hot air from the casing.

Where in Malaysia forum sales this type of fan?


Thank you guys!

u mean this kind of fan?

It's a nice fan there. Is the fan u wanted to give away?

woot...
the Cooler Master 90cfm Long Life Silent LED Casing Fan is in Malaysia already...

its 90CFM with 19DBA with blue LED and black frame
looks super cool and works super fast and long lasting

hmm... how powerfull ?
ok... the fan moves when i on it and place it on my table...

can barely hear anything coming out from the fan...
very low backward trusting... very efficient fan...

90cfm @ 19dB only ?? cool .. how much u got it ??

If it does exist, I am in to it.

I have enough of my delta fan noise

the user claim:
- the airflow is not exactly 90CFM
- airflow is better than Scythe S-Flex but with additional dba la

where to get 10cm fan la? for my coolermaster hyper6+....can sum1 pm me the location or seller? or how to install different size of fan into the cooler

Check out what zhen^wei has brought into LYN ..90fm 19db
