Mobo fan speed controller or Delta fan buggered?

[metalmackey]

Hi,

I have a delta fan connected to my mobo which blows out the back of the case. Its very loud so I slow it down in the bios and use sppedfan to turn it up during gaming. Anyway, I was browsing the web and suddenly the fan spins at full. The bios or speedfan no longer can adjust the speed of the fan so its at max all the time. Temps are normal. I didnt do anything to make this happen, it just sped up in windows and now cant control it. Would it more likely be the mobo connector or the acual fan thats gone wrong? Its very loud so can I get help before my head explodes

Thanks

Are delta fans not too power hungry to use motherboard sockets?

you could try it on an adapter from a molex i suppose

Delta's have a horrible habit of burning out mobo connectors, I'd run it off a molex if I were you
