Antec led fans on/off switch for led

Kalekills · Apr 15, 2014

I just got in my Antec 900 case. I have also purchased a Red Tricool antec fan and two Antec TrueQuiet 120 to replace the factory Blue fans.

I want the fans to run normally, but want to splice in an external switch. So I can turn the LED's off at night when I don't want them on anymore.

I looked for a tutorial, but only found info on Cooler master fans. I have already purchased these fans before I realized they had fans on the market with this option already installed.

I can solder, and have all the necessary crimps and shrink sleeves to alter the wiring.

So what is the question? Fans are basically the same. There is a power lead to run the fan, a ground, a lead for the tach, and a lead for pwm if able. The led taps off the power lead and ground.

You can google search on computer fan pinout

I peeled the sticker back a little bit, on the center of the fan. My question is all the LEDs are wired into the board. If I want to run them on a switch will I have disconnect all of them and run them on an independent circuit, pig tailing off the power and ground? - I am new here and have not figured out how to post an image but here is a link to the fan.

This video has a notation that this only works on cooler master. If it applies ill follow this tek

in the image you can see the individual power wires running to the board

Hi, with the Tricool should be similar and with the TrueQuiet UFO not possible, but I confirm that with the PD guys in USA.

Hi,

I checked with our PD and it is not possible to do that.

Kalekills · Apr 17, 2014

It is possible with the Tricool though? Or not possible with any antec fans ?

Hi, can you see all of the traces on the boards of the Antec fans.
