    Re: Changing voltages.

    Even though the model numbers matched, the sticker and connector were different. I found the one that has the same sticker and same 5-pin connector as the one I have. This is the exact same one, it looks the same, all the numbers match, everything. Ignore the previous one:

      129CFM!!!!!
      damn i want one!

      just so you know, a "good" fan is usually about 80CFM and a cheap crappy one is high 30's

        Even though the one I linked to uses the same amperage (1.30amp), for some reason, it has the standard three-pin header it looks like, instead of the Dell custom 5-pin.

        I bet a lot of people are probably upset after buying that. They probably thought like I thought, that it could just be plugged into the motherboards header. Drawing the 1.30amp probably ruined their board.
        The one in my PowerEdge 840 is the even higher amperage 2.5A Matsushita NMB-MAT Model 4715KL-04W-B86 which would be even worse for a motherboard not designed for that amperage.

          yea nice 129cfm fan there, spork. i got a scythe ultra kaze 120. its also a 120x38mm fan like yours but it only uses 0.6amps @ 3000rpm to give 133cfm! was rather expensive tho. cost me US$25!

            Yeah, I think I wrote about what happened when I turned it on. It was actually on the floor the first time but it freaking moved! I was like holy cow! So I turned off the PC and carefully grabbed hold of it. Then I flicked the power switch and it was pushing papers around on the other side of the room. It's insane. You can actually feel the force in your hands when it turns on.

              It'd be fine if you hooked it up to one of the power supply molex connectors though, right?

              What if I used the floppy drive mini-molex or whatever it is. Could that handle the current or are the wires too small there? I use an external USB floppy drive so I have a spare floppy drive mini-molex connector in my PC.

                Re: Changing voltages.

                If you want a 120mm fan that can move a ton of air, and is compatible with most motherboard fan headers the 0.6A 103.8 CFM Matsushita NMB-MAT FBA12G12H and 0.7A 120CFM Delta AFB1212HHE-F00 are decent options, though neither is particularly quiet if that is important to you.

                Definitely has good airflow, but $25 for a sleeve bearing fan with only a 30k hr. MTBF is a bit steep.

                  Wow, that's crazy! How loud is it running at full speed? I have a few Dell here (at least 4 I believe). I'm thinking of checking the other ones to see what fans are in there when I find some time.

                  I figure if I can get four of these things, I can build hovercraft of helicopter out of them!

                    It should be fine hooked directly up to the PSU. Of course it will run at full speed the whole time (I imagine it does this anyhow on a non-dell motherboard) but if noise isn't an issue that won't really matter.

                      That takes me back to my original question. I could slow them down by wiring a bunch of resistors in series to the 12v supply, correct? I'd prefer to use one of those variable resistors, a potentiometer, to control the speed and noise a bit. I wonder how much current the average pot can handle.

                        Yes, many fans ship with a little dongle that has a resister to slow speed and reduce noise, and the manual fan controllers that were common in the days before PWM fans (and you can still buy) were common are nothing more than potentiometers.

                        You could rig up your own setup, or of you want something ready-made you can buy something like one of these:

                          That's cool! I like the first link. I'll probably just rig something up myself though, seeing how I have a few pots floating around here somewheres. I'll just adjust it to where I want it and probably leave it in the case. Not sure if I want the fan in the front pulling cold air in or in the back blowing hot air out. I'll probably put it in the front so it's not stealing air from the CPU fan. Also, I wouldn't have to worry so much about that pot grounding out on the case or the board.

                          Seeing how I more than likely have a few of these 120mm fans, maybe I should hook a couple up. One in the front, one in the back. I'm just worried it'll steal the air from the CPU fan if it's in the back there.

                            the berg connector or 3.5" floppy drive connector cable typically uses 20awg wires compared to 18awg for the 4-pin molex connector cables and the connectors are smaller too, so it has a lower current limit. the current limit for the berg connector is 3 amps vs 8 amps or so for the molex. so dont connect more than two of those 1.6 amp fans to the berg connector. even then, its 3.2 amps total which is really pushing it, so i do not recommend it for those fans. use the molex connector instead. hot or overheating cables are NOT fun or good even if they arent melting for that matter!

                              Thank you ChaosLegionnaire. I questioned if the smaller gauge wire would be able to handle the current or not. How did you know that the 20awg berg connector could handle 3 amps? Was there a formula you used or did you just read it somewheres? I'm asking because I think it'd be a very useful skill to have, to be able to calculate how much amperage a certain gauge wire could handle... Thanks!

                                  Some places say 700 circular mils per amp, some say 300 circular mils per amp. From what I've been reading, there's more to it than just gauge. Temperature, what type of metal is used (copper, aluminum, etc), is it coiled together, etc, plays a roll.

                                  So, 20 awg wire has a circular mil of 1,022 cm. 1,022 / 300 =~ 3.4 amps. I think that's where the 3 amps comes from.

                                  Thanks!

                                    A quick question for users who live in countries where the metric system is the dominant measuring system. This is going a bit off topic here, but I wanted to know. Here, in the US, we have something called a mil. It's 1/1000th's of an inch. When I take something to the machine shop, they'll use mils for certain measurements. Is mil a universal thing? Or do the metric people refer to millimeters as mils? Thanks.

                                      btw, when doing wire calculations the frequency must be taken into account because of a thing known as skin-effect.
                                      electricity at high frequency's (50Khz+) likes to ride on the surface of the metal rather that through it.

                                      but put simply, if your run high frequency you need lots of small strands rather than one thick strand.
                                      that is even more important when making transformers.

                                        Thank you Stj! I wish there was a Like button on here like some other forums have. There's a lot of times forum members answer one of my questions with an answer that I really like and would love to hit a + or like button or something.

                                        I need to find some good free online physics resources. I never had the pleasure of taking any physics classes. I've talked to a few people who took some and that stuff sounds amazingly fun!

                                          i read about it somewhere. i remember looking at current limits for different video card power connectors.

                                            Hello guys,

                                            I have a Philips 240B7QPJEB. The monitor seems completely dead.
                                            I opened it and measured the voltages of the powersupply. I found that a mosfet was dead and replaced it.
                                            On the connector, that goes to the TCON board, all voltages 15-19V and 5V are present.
                                            The small connector on the left of the PSU has two cables with 18V and all the other have 0.2V. It connects on this small connector on the left ontop of the panel. I guess the backlight? Seens fine I guess.
                                            The weird thing is, that the Power LED is powered over the TCON board.
                                            On The TCON...

                                            Hello, this might be embarassing since I consider it a dumb question but keeps me kinda stuck sometimes in my journey.

                                            I want to know if there is any post in this forum which explains my questions. A) When, where and how do I know when X voltage line is input or output. Example:


                                            I'm battling with this IC to understand it's voltages. It's from non-turning-on Lenovo Ideapad 3 15iil05 - NM-D461.

                                            I see some lines like +5VL / +5VALW / V9B+ / +3VALW being okay and some others like 1.8VALW / +0.6VS / +2.5V_DDR. I just know that some of them are bad or missing,...

                                            Need to know the voltages that will be present on SN51DP ic when tv is in standby and when powered on.

                                            Just to elaborate on the problem with the tv 1.set came in with flash of HISENSE logo on screen then back into standby.2. Now tv when plugged in red standby light present to quickly changes to blue but no backlights.3.Then an hour ago i checked again , came on standby and stayed until i pressed the power button which changed to power on (blue)4.As far as the led driver circuit goes voltage at output in standby was 38v , power on led light up voltages rise 58v-68v...

                                            MSI Z390-A PRO missing VCORE voltages
                                            by karlp028
                                            I've got an MSI Z390-A Pro motherboard that starts up fine, but it's missing the VCORE (and VGT) voltages. All of the other voltages are present (e.g. VCCSA, VCCIO) and I know the CPU (i7-9700k) is good. Now, the original PWM controller (UP9521P) had an internal short and I replaced it with a new one. All of the enable signals look good. The problem seems to be the PWM signals going to the MOSFET drivers. I checked them with an oscilloscope and they are all flat 1.5V with no pulses. I don't know why this would be and I'm not sure where to look next.

                                            Motherboard after starting show Q code 00.
                                            No shorts on any rail ( at last I can't finde any)
                                            All voltage are correct on SIO - 3.3V, PCH power 1V , DDR 1.2V, SPI 8 leg 3.3V
                                            Nothing get hot, PSU starting, all lights came ON....
                                            One thing i can see incorrect is no VCCIO and VCCSA voltages and no main power on CPU.
                                            After deep looking I found dead Synchronous Buck converter CSD97374Q4M that is powering VCCIO for CPU but after replacing it nothing changed. Voltages on it are correct....
                                            This buck converter is PWM'ed by Asus DigiVRM ASP1405I-62T. Can't finde any datasheet...
