Bolo Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Hi everyone, I just installed my new 550VX PSU and have my system up and running. My problem is that my case fan is now running at maximum speed. My old PSU, from another company, had a 4-pin cable labeled "fan only" that would regulate the speed of my case fan based on the case's internal temperature. I didn't see one on the 550VX and can't find any reference to this capability in the manual. Is there any way that the 550VX can slow my case fan down and make it temperature sensitive once again? One of the reasons I bought the 550VX was that it has a reputation for being very quiet, but with my case fan running at full tilt my computer has become much noisier. :(: Thank you for any suggestions!

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted September 17, 2010 Corsair Employee Share Posted September 17, 2010 I would suggest plugging the fan directly into a header on the motherboard, some motherboards allow you to throttle the fan speed in the BIOS.

Bolo Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 Any longer answer then? Are there any alternatives to regulating my case fan speed? I had assumed the "fan only" connector on my old power supply was standard now... so what are my options for getting a quiet computer again? Thank you. Edit: Thanks Ram Guy. I'll check that out when I get home later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted September 20, 2010 Corsair Employee Share Posted September 20, 2010 If the motherboard does not allow you to do it, the only other way would be to get a fan controller, or an adapter cable which is able to throttle the power to the fan.
