I currently have a 600W PSU and just added a fan controller to the mix. Now, my fans do not work properly and I'm not sure if it's a bad fan controller, or if it's a power issue. When hooked up via molex (through the fan controller), the fans "rev." When set to 100% they are constantly reving between 50% and 100% speed (with the fan controller set to manual). Sometimes they do this for a long time, sometimes they run fine. Each time the power to the fans dips, the lights on the fan controller dim as well (but no other fans or items in the PC have issues).
In addition to that, I have to disable my overclock in the bios when the fan controller is connected. I just get a bios post screen that says "overclock failed."
If I turn the power to the fans down to anything other than 100%, it feels like they are actually running at about 10%, pushing almost no air at all. If I hook the fans up through the 3-pin connectors on the controller, they get no power whatsoever.
I'm a bit stumped. I'm leaning towards power supply being maxxed out, but that's hard to comprehend, when it's just sitting idle on the desktop, or even sitting on the bios screen.
Any help/suggestions?
