Erm, this is a picture with its internals open.
But all I can offer at this point is the complete overview picture of this graphics card:
Not all pictures are as good:
It's so unsharp it gives you a headache...
Anyway I got myself some tools...
And some soldering equipment...
The rest, as they say, I s history.
I used a TO-220 package 7808, as you can see on the pictures. This is simply a converter that will dynamically lower resistance depending on the load, to ensure a fixed and constant resistance of in this case 8 V (7808). It's not more difficult than that.
The wiring is simply:
Code: Select all
fan | r --------------> | | <-
| b --------------> | | <--------------> b
| | | ---------------> y
I... slightly burned (sooted) on of the connectors (at the fan) ans for this I am not happy .\
I used a ready-made cheapest-available 2-wire female (fan) plug hence the yellow wire on it.
That yellow wire is just 12V, not signaling.
