Thought id put this here rather than hijack someone elses topic.
I have a Bitfenix recon, inside a prodigy case connected to 3 Spectre fans (Not the pro versions) There are 1x 230mm and 2x 120mm Channel 1,2 and 3 respectively).
You would think that with all items being Bitfenix that they would work but theres an issue with the speed staying level.
The idle temp of the machine is about 24c so the largest of the fans on chanel 1 tries to spin at 40% of its max speed. After a min orso the speed drops so low the recons alarm beeps and whacks it up to full speed, only for it to then attempt to drop to 40% and the cycle starts again.
Ofcourse i could artificlally heat up the temp probe by wrapping it in something to keep it warm as this would stop the fan from spinning so slow but there has to be a way around this. Did bitfenix not even test this product with their own fans?? Surely all it would take is a circuit that spins the fans at max and min RPM when the PC boots up to see where theyre stable, and then save this infomation in o a memory chip would stop this issue from happening.
iirc, the largest fan tries to drop to 400RPM if that helps, the two 120mm fans are fine however. Asside from this its a lovely unit, just wondered if anyone else had similar issues specefically with spectre fans... Im kinda wondering if a 230mm spectre pro suffers from the same problems, id hope not.
