OK so I'm having weird problems trying to get the front fan working on my ds3...
I Have a coolermaster cac-t05 (centurion) and it has 1 120mm fan at the back and one 80mm LED fan in the front. I wanted the front fan working just for that nice little light because I thought it's cool, but when I connect it via the sys_fan connecter (because the back fan is using the pwr_fan and I find the sys_fan the only logical choice,) The computer won't turn on. I pull it off of the sys_fan connecter thingy, try turning it on, and it works again. So then I try again but get the same problem..
I want to know how come It just doesn't turn on. I thought Maybe it's a power problem, maybe my PS doesn't have enough power, but then I check the psu calculator site (www.extreme.outer... yadayada) and it says that I have more than enough for that extra one LED fan.
SO I think it's a prob. with the molex adapters (i think that's what they're called, it's the big white 4 pin connectors with the f#'s on them) so I try switching them (ie. instead of f4, use f5) but then that doesn't work out either
So I talked to my tech guy at school and he told me he read somewhere that sometimes the power supply is too much for it (or something like that) so that might be the problem
Anyways, I really would like to know if maybe there are other adapters I could put it in or.. i don't know.. but anyways, thanks for taking the time for reading my big story.. and big thx if anyone solves my problem.
btw my specs are: (and yes, it's a budget comp, a canadian budget comp)
430w psu
CM centurion cac-t05
Pentium D 820
1x samsung 5300 ddr2
Evga e-gefore 7600gs
