Thank you for the detailed response. I came here to learn and did learn new things especially the 5 VDC minimum as a precaution and impedance as a form of "resistance" to look out when connecting with 4-pins. You did mention the the pump header referencing on the CPU socket for temperature...

But I can set DC Voltage control on that pump fan header from the MSI BIOS like the other system fan 1-6 pins. I'm only doing it because it can supply max 3 Amperes (my fan needs 2.69 A starting current). The 1 A current on system fan 1-6 might not be enough for this fan. I do get what you're...

I'm no electrical or electronics engineer though but I should ask this. Why would providing 36W 3A pin be too much considering I'm going to control/limit its voltage? Wouldn't the 36W 3A pin give me "headroom" to adjust at higher RPMs? Also, thanks for being first to respond.

Hi, I just got a Scythe Fan that runs at high RPM. Unfortunately it's only a 3-pin so no PWM to control the speed of the fan so it will run at 5400 RPM when I connect it using the Molex. However, I'm thinking of plugging it into the my unused 4-pin CPU Pump Header on my motherboard. My...

Thanks. I'm was doubtful on my plans then you cleared some things out of the way. Will do a fresh reformat.

So I received the new CPU and MOBO today. I did read that with Windows 10 you no longer need to reformat when going for hardware upgrades, all those drivers and stuffs. My concern will be on the order of steps to follow in doing this. Does it go like this? Run my current (old) setup and back-up...

Hello! I'm planning to upgrade my GPU to the new RX 470 4GB Sapphire Nitro and I'm not sure if my current PSU will be enough. Power Supply DeepCool DE-500 Rated Power - 350 Watts Peak Power - 500 Watts My current build: Processor: Intel Skylake i7 6700 Motherboard: MSI H110M PRO-VH Memory: 2...
