Antec nine hundred fans

[Bingy]

OK so I just plugged my cpu fan on my true-120 into a chassis socket and reduced it from 2100rpm to 1200rpm and know the fans that are the loudest are my antec nine hundred stock fans.

I was wondering how would I manually change the speed of them since they have a molex end on them.

I have about 3 molex cords on my Corsair 750TX PSU and ithink they all got the 3pin connection on the end. So i was wondering

For each 3 fans I attach a seperate moxel cord to them and then plug the 3 pin connecter on the end of the 3 cords into the chassis sockets. How ever I can only do this with 2 fans cause one chassis socket is taken up


Also because theres like 2/3 moxel connectors on each cord can I have 2 fans on one cord and then put the 3 pin into the chassis socket so that if you change the speed of the fan on one chassis it will change it for the 2 fans(cause 2 fans are on the one lead)?

Thanks.

The Antec 900 case fans use 12 volts from the drive molex connectors. Total fan power consumption on HIGH is a little over 1 amp, so it really does not matter how many you plug in where. Each fan is controlled by its own speed switch.

I modded my cases by cutting three extra holes:

Then I plugged the top & rear fans together and the two front fans together, then plugged the two fan cables into two different molex connectors.

I am using a Scythe S-Flex SF21-F (0 - 1600 rpm) on my TRUE. Seems to have been a good choice. Q9550 (OC'd to 3.6 GHz) core temps are around 60 C under load at 1.3625 volts.

I discovered that running the case fans faster than LOW had no effect on my CPU temps.

so it is impossible to change the speed of the fans lower then 1200rpm? in any way possible? by the means of using 3 pin connectors in some way.

I bought a case with one rear fan (2 wire molex) and successfully spliced it with a 3 wire fan (motherboard connector) then plugged them together onto the motherboard so I could control both. Works great.

The Antec 900 fans all have 3way switches already; I run them all at low. I can clearly hear my seagate HDD plinging louder than the fans when it is running so I cant see how making them quieter will help much.

How you plug them in doesnt matter, I have the top and front two fans all plugged together into one molex and the rear fan on a separate one.

I think this cheap cable will let you plug them into the motherboard so you can software control them.
