well, i want to try this, but i got no knowledge how to do it..

let's start. where shall i get those staffs ?

Pasar Pudu there got sell or not ?

this looks dangerous to me....(newbie)
u wouldn't wanna spoil ur PSU, i suggest u try on a ayam brand PSU 1st...

ya.. for me also.. better don't try it.. later spoiled

since u have no knowledge on how to do it....i suggest starting with something alot simpler.... a simple high-off-low switch.

what this basically does is switch the voltage going to the fan..so if u put it to 12v..itll get full speed and if at 5/7v ull get the low speed... the lower the volts, the slower the fan.

taken from Cliff's Fanbus

12v/7v switch

12v/5v switch

wat u need is an on/off/on switch. wires and all necessary connectors to connect it to ur PSU and fan. heatshrink/electrical tape bla bla bla...(All this u can get in Jalan Pasar)

this is VERY easy to do..and i successfully did a few when i had ZERO soldering knowledge. its just a matter of following the very simple diagrams in the link and u have urself a fan controller.

FYI, i made this to control my 1x12cm and 1x8cm Delta FFBs and alot of other noisy fans i used to have in my case.
EDIT: i had 1 switch controlling the 2 FFBs and 1 more switch controlling around 4 fans.

point to note: whatever fan ur trying to control, ensure that they are able to run at 7v or 5v (whichever one ur planning to do). reason i state this is because in the case of my 4x 12cm Delta FFBs, only ONE of them can work at 5v. the other 3 wont, even if i give it a 'kick start'. but ALL of them can work at 7v.

Nope, it's easy. Finished it just yesterday, works perfectly fine and the total cost for the components are cheap too. Got everything from a shop in Jalan Pasar (except the molex). And well, you surely need basic soldering skills which you've probably learned in KH classes.
=) Good for controlling noisy fans...



If you don't wanna take the risk of making it yourself, I saw bombman's 1 channel fan controller which is very nice. Can ask him if he makes them for sale.

hey pmmonkey mind to make 1 for me ?
i pay for the cost.. hehehe

u siao wan....everything also can do.....really admire your skills...
we boys must salute u lah

anyway, how much u get that controller?

The components are really cheap... really.
Like I've mentioned, try to ask bombman. His controller has the pro look.

His already pro, for this job..we salute u bombman...

it is no rocket science, very easy to accomplish,

hehe..actually i myself haven't make any ..but have one delta fan..damm..noisy..so..planning to make one this weekend..will post the final product later...if mission accomplish..hehe

yea i seen the 4 channel he did , Superb + the pcb part looks so dam neat

yea his very good, that day he showed me his 4 channel fan controller very clean look , + his arcylic job superb

another easy and simple way to DIY ur own fan controller...

good guide easy to do also. wil try it after i get the tools. erm.. wat wil happen to my pc if i connect the wire wrongly? newbie here

Though it's not rocket science, it's not as easy as u may think. Simpler said than done. Try instead askin' modders here whether anythin' they did was easy

Totally agree, won't b easy to solder things to the board when u don't plan it properly b4 hand. Also, have to make sure to cut stuffs to suit and most importantly, avoid short circuit since ur casing is very conductive.

Why not v giv him a chance 2 make us 1 contoh & prove wht he says. After that no need 4 any other modders 2 come in here ready

afraid he will make real rocket..haha

i also plan to make my controller for my system.currently still searching components

is there any controller that more than 1 amp at jalan pasar...mind stating the shop name?

Roket yg sesat like North Korea's


Wht probably u mean is voltage regulator. The common one is LM317T which can provide up to 1.5A. There r also 3A & 5A ones.

Hahaha..used adjustable transistor last sunday..guess what..it burnt!!!!on fire!!!!Waaa!!!maybe the voltage too high for the transistor!!

Wht's an adjustable transistor¿ Think u mean variable resistor (VR). If the fan's current rating is higher than that of the VR definitely cant withstand lah

oh ya!!ur right..VR..sorry noob here..juz forget what that adjustable thing is..they did mention that it actually have many kind of that stuff

plz come to help me ... somebody can tell me how to do a fan contoller ??? i need to make a fan controller for my vizo windstrom

Here's a guide on how to make you own DIY Fan Controller

how to cut a pcb board??

No need for a PCB...jst use veroboard. U may hav a look @ pics I posted in my gallery as reference

veroboard??

this

somebody sell it in garage..
or u try ask khyde*hk if i not mistake..
he can build one for u

Can get it off kits in electrical or hardware shops. I can still remember working on circuits like this during kemahiran hidup classes lastime

yup just look for light dimmer/speed control kit.

tis type of board cannot cut 1 ??

where get tis like tat things i am circle on the picture ??

??/ where u get the guide to make the fan controller ??

can, why not ? get a plastic cutter . or simple blade will do but need to put more pressure

thats called a controller knob(variable resistor knob), you can find it at electronic shops.

i am really dunno how to do the fan controller , can u tell me how to do it??

check this thread
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/582138

there's a guide here also

http://www.pcmoddingmy.com/e107_plugins/co....php?content.83

i hav a problem like below picture

itula...dulu dulu sekolah time kemahiran hidup, main-main

heehee jk only TS

bro, tolong ajar saya , sekarang kamu boleh jadi cikgu kemhiran hidup saya

Boy, you're form 3 right? Why not u ask ur skool teacher.
It's kinda hard to explain to you...

Or maybe u can Pm forumers like allngap, bombman, and lohwenli to make the controllers for you.

how u know i am form 3 ??? my school kh teacher dunno 1 , i ask he but he say dunno

u have to jump that part. thats why its connected

thx , but i already finish do the fan control ..

any picture to share ?

bro , how u know i am form 3 ???

i will upload my fan controller soon , coz i doing another two channel fan controller .
