Re: These Fans Are UnCool
-----------------------------------
Some have an adapter to plug into the power supply itself. The RPM
isn't really a must because the default is set to high voltage anyway.
If you are having fan problems you might want to get a small stand up
fan and put it along side the Motherboard. That will cool it down till
you get the fan straightened out. A fan that makes that king of noise
can be helped with silicon spray. It will quite and free the Stater down
to let it spin. If not then the windings are broke. I have had to replace more
fans than I could count. I still have a Northgate with a 400 Celeron with
499 mb of memory and an 8 gig Seagate hard drive. Now are you ready
for this. everything in the PC is original. It is 11 years old.  :redface:                                          I am typing on it now because it is
easier with a small drive to go on the net. Less to blow up. While the big Sony VAIO
PCs are off line and are virus free. But if you have a red and black wire on the fan. One is hot while the other
is ground.  :D I hope you get it working. :hug2:
