PSU Fan Cables - Where To Connect?

SquirrelMadness · 8 Feb 2016 at 13:42

Found this PSU the other day... detached fan cables and left to throw away:

Anyone know where to solder the wires to? Was gonna see if I can fix it. Cheers.

It doesn't sound like you have the knowledge to work on that safely.

But seriously,

Yeah don't.

When I was younger I had a nasty encounter with a PSU, thinking I was all that. It was even unplugged, if you're not sure what you are doing, don't do anything.

I dunno, made a very handy 12volt supply from an old power supply. Helps me prime system when refilling the cooling liquid. Mind you it does help that my old man is an electrician.

You see that lite white JST PH 2 pin header connector. I bet that'll be the spot for the fan. It's also close to the voltage output rails which would make sense.

You need to solder to the underside of the board unless you can find the traces for the header. It might not be a regulated fan output so may run at full pelt.

Looks like a power supply you get bundled with a £20 case............even if brand new it needs to go in the bin.
