Question ^_^

If I bought some 4 pin molex to 6 x 3 pin fan splitters, would I have anyway of controlling these fans?

Probably a stupid question but would be very helpful to know.

No you wont..

They are either 12v (full) 7v (mediium) or 5v (slow).. The connector should inform you on that one.

Ok, so if I were to want scythe gentle typhoon fans from a 240 and 360 rad attacked to these which would I want? They would be cooling a cpu and gpu

Wouldnt you be better off with a fan controller?

Am using a corsair 540 case and want to get rid of the drive cage really so won't have room for it

This is the sound of one at 12v, thats if youre using the 1850's..

I'd go for 12v or 7v.. Judging by the fact its silent 12v..

Cleisthenes · 24 Nov 2013 at 18:30

Thats incredible! Do you think there would be a large difference in cooling performance if I went with 7v?

seeing as OcUK don't sell them is it ok to post a link to where I have seen them? Because I don't know how I would change to voltage; how would make it 7v as opposed to 5 or 12?

I think 12v will be better for all round cooling..

The alchemy cables are rated for 12v/7v and 5v

Didn't you have a 650D?

This is what I was looking at: http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=32022

Sorry in advance if I wasn't allowed to post that.

How would this work? I mainly like this because of how tidy it will be.

Is that a, "I didn't

" or a "I did have one, but no longer have it."

It's a I have it and a have a 540

I got an urge for a 540 but still had my 650d. I now have no way of selling my 650d

Gah! And students say they have no money!

Doomedspeed · 24 Nov 2013 at 19:08

Had a quick look for you, all i can assme is it's 12v, i saw a review that said "it seems to run them all at full pelt".. I think it'd say otherwise if it didn't..

That is a smooth bit of kit too, i really like.

Cleisthenes · 24 Nov 2013 at 19:29

Excellent thank you! I saw then first when I was looking for inspiration. Found it here: http://www.overclock.net/t/1402099/build-log-water-cooled-corsair-carbide-series-air-540/190

Makes the back side of the case look criminally tidy!

e: awkward, am I allowed to link to other forums?
