90mm Case Fan + QFan

[Big Beere]

Wellll...

After tidying up my case and hiding the cables/wires, my last job was to sort out one of the 90mm case fans on the rear of my case. The Thermaltake fan has a fan control connected to it, at the time i wanted to disconnect the fan control wire so i can sort out the surrounding wires/cables. I basically pulled (pretty gently)on the wire and it seemed to pull the little connecter and one of the little yellow wires have came out! Now i cant connect the fan control and turn up or down the fan :cry: . . . This is quite anoying because the fan is on full-wak (2990rpm) and is very LOUD..

I have enabled QFan, becuase i thought it lowers all the fans in the case when it gets cool, and makes the fans go faster when it gets hotter (system temp is around 39-40C)... But QFan doesn't seem to change that anoying fan which is spinning reallllly fast !

Apart from disconnecting it, anyone got any ideas? :lol:

Have you enabled Q-fan in the bios?!?!

That yellow wire, forms part of the speed sensor circuit.
without it, the fan will just run and run and run.

You can get the pin out of the molex connector, trust me, it can be done without the special tools which RS want something like £100 just for the extraction tool. If you have a fine pinted or very small flat bladed watchmakers screwdriver, you can push down the locking pin then use a second small screwdriver to ease the pin out.

Once you got it out, give me your address, and I'll mail you a replacement pin, i should have some spare around here from a project i did for college. And i had to use 2 and 3 pin molex connectors on some of my wiring :wink:

Its that or just go buy a new fan.

why dont you get your self a new "quiet" fan, and get a fan speed controler to control that new 90mm and the 120mm's you have with your water cooling
