PWM

Hi, so why do I have additional 4 pin PWM connector on low-entry level PSU when on official page they say nothing about it? Model is Antec V550. PWM is on same cable with molex connector so I been wondering if that means when I connect PSU to the motherboard, all my case fans connected to the...

Hi all. Looking to build a PC for gaming with a £1500 budget for a tower, keyboard and mouse. Part lists please? Thanks!

Hello. I'm looking for a piece of software to control my case fans. I only need it every now and again, for when I'm stresstesting / benchmarking and for trying to find the best settings between case fans and the fans on my AiO, and pump RPM of the AiO. It is not something I do too often, but...

I'm thinking of buying the scythe mugen 5 pcgh edition cpu air cooler and replacing the kazeflex fans with corsair ML120 rgb pwm fans. Will it work if I just plug the two fan cables into the two cpu fan headers (CPU_FAN and CPU_OPT) in the motherboard? The motherboard is the gigabyte aorus z390...

Hi, The preinstalled fans on my case are a little on the loud side (supposedly 25dBA @ 32.5CFM), so I was thinking of swapping them (3 fans intake, 1 exhaust) for something more efficient and with PWM. I found a non-RGB alternative that seems decent according to specs, but I can't find many...

I have a LED strip (2 pin) plugged into a 3 pin adapter that is plugged into a 4pin fan header on a z170i asus mobo. as the pc starts the led strip is dim, but once windows loads, it goes full bright. is there a way to limit the power to that fan header so the strip will stay dim? i tried...

Hi guys! I'm about to upgrade some parts on my PC, especially the cooling/noise reduction. I'm gonna buy a Fractal Define S, which has 2x 140mm 3-pin fans, I also have 2x 140mm 3-pin fans AND 4x 140mm 4-pin PWM fans laying around. So there are 4x 3-pin and 4x 4-pin fans. Since no MoBo has so...

Hey guys I found this fan splitter , and I have some questions about it. What will happen If I connect 6 PWM fans via this adapter? Do all fans run at same speed because they get same PWM signal? If one fan's speed increases due to heat, speed of all other connected fans will also increase...

Hello! I'm looking to buy a CoolerMaster ML240L RGB aio to cool my CPU but the thing is that the motherboard doesn't have a 3 pin DC fan header to connect the pump . Is there a way to power the pump with a PWM header or another thing, like a splitter or hub? Thanks.

I know the difference between PWM and non-PWM. Ideally i'd think using all PWM fans is best (to optimize performance and noise control), but is it necessary? I'm trying to order a case and fans for a new build and I'm wondering are there certain locations (intake, exhaust, etc) in which PWM is...

Not sure if this is a fan controller, would i be able to see the individual fans temperature/rpm of each connected to this hub i am trying to connect it to CHA_FAN2. I am using thermaltake 12 ring syn 3x120mm fan and a tuf b450m-plus gaming and a coolmaster masterair ma610p DeepCool FH-04...

Hi not sure if my motherboard is capable of putting a 3 way pwm splitter onto a single header under CHA_FAN2 would it damage the motherboard reason i want to put them in that header because my case carbide 275r comes with 2 x pre-installed fans and i want those two fans on to the CHA_FAN1. I am...

Hello, I am trying to build a wind tunnel for a school project to test the thermal efficiency of various heat sink designs. I am using (4) 120x25mm PWM fans. I am looking for a 12V output PWM controller with 4 channels and a minimum total output of 160W. It doesn't matter if it comes with a...

I'm looking to buy a 3 x 180mm radiator or a 2 x 200mm radiator for a i9-9900K + GPU. Trouble is, I can only find 2 PWM fan models: Phobya G-Silent PWM, 180x25mm, 900rpm, (or here) Noctua NF-A20 PWM, 200x30mm, 800rpm. There are tons of 3-pin models in those sizes (Silverstone, BitFenix, Cooler...

This case is fairly old but i'm going to start building my computer in it first time and I was just wondering if the PWM fan header at the back is safe to plug into the motherboard. So there are the 4 preinstalled fans already connected to the hub. I was wondering if it was safe to plug it into...

I need to install a extra chassis Fan to my Mini PC to reduce temperature. motherboard have 4-Pin PWR Fan header and Mini PC chassis provide enough space to hold 20mm x 20mm x 7mm Fan. My problem is 20mm x 20mm x 7mm Fan are only manufactured with 2-Pin so If I create a 4-Pin to 2-Pin converter...

I have a Noctua PWM industrial 120mm fan on the back of my case connected to chassis fan header 2 on my ASUS Z170-I Motherboard. In BIOS I've selected PWM mode on the header and it seems to be fine at 20%. Just where I want it. However, when I boot into OS my settings seem to have been...

Hello, I've bought theese awesome two PWM fans for my mini-itx case: Noctua Fan Chromax Black Swap PWM NF-A14 140mm (max PWM speed 1200rpm); Noctua Fan NF-A12x25 120mm PWM 120mm (max PWM speed 1500). My motherboard Gigabyte GA-z170n-Wifi has 1 PWM 4-pin for CPU and 1 4-pin PWM for fans. I've...

Hi, I've noticed that my CPU fan runs at full speed all the time even though the CPU is barely used by the system (usually at 15-30% of usage) and is at around 30°C (85°F). My setup: MB: Asus Z170i Pro Gaming (BIOS version: 3406, 2017/07/21) CPU: i7-6700 CPU Fan: Noctua NH-D14 RAM: 32GB...

I'm planning on adding 6 PWM fans along with a 360 rad in my build. I also need a good fan hub that supports PWM for all the fans. If the hub only has max 8 headers, I want to know if using the chassis header on the motherboard will still give me PWM

Ok, my buddy just got got into pc gaming and decided to build his first pc, sadly i dont really know much about computers so ill ask here. His motherboard socket is an am3 socket and the cpu he wants to get is an AMD PHENOM II X4 B95 but it says it is an am2+/ am3 cpu and the motherboard...

Hello, I'm wondering if 70-75c temps are ok while under gaming load or if I should be getting cooler temps with my AIO. I'm running the 8700k overclocked at 4.9ghz. Corsair AIO H100i v2, Rx 580x2 8gb Crossfire, Corsair Vengeance 2x8gb DDR4 3000.

So i have just bought a gigabyte aorous b360m motherboard and have bought a wd green 240gb m2 ssd for my boot drive. But it is not showing in the bios or on the list of drives for installing windows any ideas?

I'm new to overclocking and I don't really get the relation between multipliers vs voltage. I'm only on air cooling so I can't push it too much. I tried to put all cores to 5gHz (just to test) and it worked pretty good when 1 or 2 cores where active but after an hour of gaming it crashed...

Hi, I’ve brought a gaming desktop second hand - it worked fine as I had played on it but the next day (to current) it has only managed to boot the MSI screen then immediately goes to a black screen with a flashing underscore. I’ve tried pressing F8 but it doesn’t do anything. Help would be...

Hi, I have a problem with my new Marantz SR6010, it won't recognize my older UniQue JWS A8 Active Subwoofer, it won't even get me a test tone from the sub. It shouldn't be anything wrong with the sub since it works fine when I plug it into my old TEAC DR-H300 receiver. I've tried all the...
