Removing Ahanix dBox fan controller(Help me Bluefront..)

I don't know if this is the right forum. If not, move it.. I've already got a Zalman MFC1 fan controller which I guess does it's job but it lacks a couple of features. 1. No 12V startupvoltage to start fan and then go down to chosen voltage.. 2. 4.5V lowest possible volt But the fancontroller which ...

The total wattage used in the Reserator review is pretty close to the total you're looking at. (jump to the test results on page 5) Considering that you are never likely to run your system at those loads long enough to ever reach the temps in the review, I'd say you're perfectly safe. :lol: Yup I r...

I haven't YET gotten mine. But I am probably going to get it at pcconnection.com.

But I would like to get it shipped with USPS and they only allow DHL which I think has a higher probability to get checked in customs, adding ~27% taxes on it! It will STILL be cheaper then the X800XT bought here!

Have you got a Yate Loon 120mm(and other sizes?). Or Nexus Real Silent 120mm, which is the same fan?

If you have any FSPXXX-60PN 120mm PSU I believe it has a Yate Loon fan inside!

Well here's what the case looks like from the front. The main reason this setup is so quiet (IMHO) is the distance of the fan from the front of the case. It sits back a full 9" from the front, plus the airflow makes several turns in the process. You'll have to try it to know for sure. Imitation is ...

I doubt if that fan will actually start at 2.8v. The dBox controller it's hooked up to, always starts at 11.5v, then drops down to 4.5v. At that point you can lower the voltage manually to 2.8. Tell you what...I can plug in the fan when the controller is running at 2.8v. I'll get back to you... Gre...

That's a Yate Loon 120mm in the photos. It's the quietest 120 I've ever heard, and can run as low as 2.8v.....which is the lowest speed on the dBox fan controller. At 11.5v it sounds like an Evercool. Will it start at 2.8v? Because I've got a FSP350-60PN and I believe it has got a Yate loon 120m fa...
