Delta 120mm work with Sunbeam Rheobus?

Diakatarnis · 28 Jul 2009 at 10:38

Hi, im looking at this fan to go with my Thermalright IFX-14 but dont want it running at full speed all the time ..

I have a Sunbeam Rheobus which works with my vantec tornado just fine.

I was wondering if it would work with the Delta as well, or whether it would eat it and make it go pop

Many thanks

Is it the standard or the extreme rheobus? Also what delta fan is it? My 120mm delta would need the extreme model to run. Mine is this one:-

Just that the extreme is rated to 30W per channel and the standard is 20W per channel iirc. From what googled images show, the extreme has six channels compared to the four of the standard.

ah k, i just found hte reciept as well. Its a standard

but how many w does the fan draw :O

On the centre of the fan it should have a code, google that and it'll bring something up, but I think it's around 24W.

Edit:- Taken from a competitor's site:-

Specifications: 120x120x38mm, -->190.00<-- CFM @ 4000 RPM, 59.0 dBA, 24.00 watts, 2.00 amps, 12v DC, 3+4 pin Molex connectors.

You should be a real man, run it without a fan controller, and deck out your entire case in Delta's...

When I was a kid, I used to have a 2x60mm screamers on my alpha coolers with my celerons 433's, and a 120mm delta blowhole on the side

Didn't think of this earlier

But you could do this:-

Purchase one of these

Then mod it to be 7v, then it could run off your fan controller. Even at 7v it still shifts a lot of air

Sorry to hijack this thread...

I bought one of the Delta 120mm fans as well as a Sunbeam Rheobus Extreme controller but the problem is, I have a Sunbeam Core Contact Freezer CPU Cooler and as this Delta is so thick, the metal long fan clips supplied with the cooler that keep the fan on the heatsink on the Core Contact Freezer Cooler won`t fit with the Delta on the heatsink because of the fans thickness, therefore, I don`t have anything to keep the fan on the heatsink. Does anyone have suggestions on how I would go about fixing this problem???

Thanks for responding.

cable ties may do the job.

These are 140mm Delta's I used on my TRUE but same principle with cable ties applies

Sick... Do they come with free ear plugs?

Sylver123 · 29 Jul 2009 at 16:50

Thanks everyone for responding.

I just used a bunch of those small plastic with metal inside cable ties you get with pc cables, and
tied them together just until I get proper long cable ties from OcUK.
