I have another question. Apparently my casing side panel has some 80mm blowholes... should I leave it be or get someone to mod it and close it up with acrylic and make it like 'air tight'? Which is better?

Cos right, when I use paper to paste up the blowholes, the temp of my CPU rise up by 3°C.... so how ar? Anyone knows what to do?

sidepanel is the best place to supply the CPU area with fresh air.....dont block it la....

if you've done the feedback research on this product, you'll know what the ratings are exaggerated.....

the fan is just a cheap china made fan.....basically it's not that silent when you use it and the bearings(not too sure whether they use bearings or not also) will wear and you'll hear annoying sound......

Of course, its fitted direct to molex. Haha... I am aware of the limitations of mobo fan headers...

Anyone can solve my Nidec voltage problem?

i told you not to put the fan to full speed when starting up your PC......did you do that ?

i've tested the juice when initially started, and it's more than 2.2A for sure........

maybe you should separate the rails to another source........

That's what I'm thinking, is there and adapter or some sort to support multiple fans.. I did some googling apparently some of them used phone chargers then wired the case fans to it  hmm.gif

option 1
use old PSU, connect the motherboard ATX pin, green pin to black(ground)
PSU will run like on PC

option 2
go find yourself 12V DC adaptor and wire all the fans together
