PWM fans for heatsink

benskia · 2 Mar 2007 at 09:43

Hi.

Are there any 120mm fans that come with 4-pin (not molex) connectors (i.e. with the extra PWM pin)?

I'd like to have Q-Fan controlling the speed of my Akasa EVO-120, but cannot at the moment because the fan on the EVO only has a 3 pin configuration. So, I'd like to replace it with an alternative.

Thanks

you can set it so that it uses voltage control to change fan speed,s whcih works with 3 pin fans. works fine with mine.

Thanks.
Any idea where I change that setting? Is it in the BIOS?
I'm on an A5n-e SLI

There are 4pin PWM controlled fans starting to become available now e.g. Arctic Cooling have them on their website. OcUK don't appear to stock any yet.
As said above you can use DC control but you might need to move the CPU fan to another header to get it. This is all set in the BIOS of most boards.
