Low Noise Adapters
Hi,
I purchased a couple of Noctua FLX fans which come with low noise adapters.
Can I use these adapters for any other fan?
Can you please explain why one way or another? (e.g. No you cannot - something has to exist in the fan motor to correctly respond to the increased resistance of the adapter.)
Thanks,
Matthew

I suppose your FLX fan is NF-S12B FLX, which rated 0,1A (1,2W)?
The consideration to use these resistors is your fan's current/wattage rating must not exceed resistor's wattage to prevent the resistor to be burned/overloaded. For example if you planned to run Ultra Kaze which rated for 0.25A....
