I have an Enermax EG365P-VE.
I was looking at the enermax modding article, which was done with a PS of the same model number:
http://www.silentpcreview.com/modules.p ... d=9&page=1
and it mentioned that the thermistor stuck to the coils controls the 80mm fan speed. On mine, the thermistor that controls the 80mm fan is sticking out of the PS entirely.
There is _another_ thermistor that _is_ glued onto the coils.
I know the external thermistor runs the 80mm fan, as the fan has five wires: red/black/yellow cables that plug straight into the mobo, and the external thermistor wires. At no point does the 80mm fan connect to the PS itself, so there is no way the internal thermistor could be influencing it.
So the question then, is what is that internal thermistor for? Does it variate the 92mm fan? My gut says yes. I've temporarily removed the 80mm fan (see next topic), and my sense is that the PS is getting almost as loud as it ever was, which says to me that 92mm fan is speeding up.
