Controlling 4 pin Molex fan speed?
jimaxx
S2 licensed
I recently switched to a new case, and it has a 120mm front inward fan and a 60mm rearoutward fan but Im having problems with them, I want to control there speed so that when I need less background noise and such I can turn them down without them sounding like a plane...But reading about because of the 4pin molex conection it seems there struggles controlling them.

If I get a 4pin>3pin and plug it into a fan controlelr and such will this work?

Cheers, Jim

Quote from Kalev EST :I just watched "Atonement". It´s basically a tragic love story with a bit of a twist in the end. I quite liked it and it has Keira Knightley in it. Always a plus.

Maybe someone or even me suggested "The Others" already. It´s not new (2001) but I thought I´d mention it anyway. In my opinion it´s Nicole Kidman´s best movie. And it´s a movie I found really creepy, not any of that slasher nonsense that has been sold as "horror". It develops quite slow in the beginning but stick with it. The end is good.

The beach and some of the indoor scenes were filmed like 5minutes away from me...REDCAR BEACH (and crappy cinema which some indoor stuff was done in) IS FOR THE WIN.

...For the record, I havent actully seen it thoe >___>


Edit: Watched Drillbit tailor a few nights ago, quite liked it, funny, plot was acceptably nice, was a bit cheesy here and there, but that just added to it

Nothing, I feel the computer is a far superior being filled with wisdom and knowledge...kinda like the legendary "Bob Smith", whos pants are full of wisdom...

on a serious note,
Tekkenn 4 like twice a year (I know its spelt wrong)
Ive played the new need for speed, just for something to do for 10minutes (Dont actully like it much)
and a bit of Old school GranTurismo 3 if I seriously have nothing better to do, which isnt often.
Gutar hero world tour (Drums mainly, Expert scream aim fire, but BYOB iss a bitch)

Games I wouldnt mind owning and playing:
PGR2/3/4
Forza 2



And thats pritty much it, I realy dont find FPS games fun on a console been a hardcore ish cs1.6/css player, I find them slow paced, dumbed down and dont find it fun waiting for a guy to move slowly to my target with the joystick melted into the edge of the pad.



Edit: Horrible grammer/spelliong ... Im not going to correct that for the irony
Edit2: Edit apeared in EVIILLLL place

Quote from S14 DRIFT :If he's asking how hard is it to switch a computer case, chances are he's not all that techno...

I have too many cables to count in my PC, but (for me anyway) it's easy to change cases/hardware because it's something I've been doing for a long time. If you're not a geek it's quite confusing at first...

Ask him what a 4 Pin Molex connector was and I'm sure he'd have no idea.. but those aren't overly important as there's generally not a specific order you have to plug them in.. but you get my point.

Isnt that the thing mah neon light plugs into through the converter which plugs into a ide power thing?

Edit: After a quick google search I can safely say I failed above.

How hard is it to switch a computer case?

S2 licensed
Basicly I want to get a new shiny glowy case of doom, stick some neon lights in it and have a small rave in my room

Ok, I dont want to do that, but I want to buy a new case and put all my current comptuer parts into it, my pc is basicly a budget pc with a asrock alive nsf6g or some crap like that, Im assuming its standard size.

Is it just a matter of taking all the parts ot and sticking them into the new pc?

Cheers, Jim.
Urghhh, dodgey speaker problem.

Quote from dadge :since you now have a clean install of xp (d drive) why not copy over your needed files from your C and then reformat that. no need for another install.

Well, I dont realy like the idea of using D:// for windows, plus there isnt enough space on that drive to back it all up, and the other thing is installing drivers, and sorting out programs which open what and such, this seems to cause problems with some programs which are allready installed, all though it isnt much work and im just been lazy I suppose
Urghhh, massive os problems

Well basicly, I may have accidently turned my computer off via the plug...while it was installing sp3...I then used the XP disc in a feeble attempt to recover it using the repair, which failed, it then got stuck in a horrible loop of "System is not setup up completely, restarting", it would then restart and come up with it again

I can at least boot and such at the moment as I installed xp onto the d;// aswell as c:// drive so i could boot, is there any simple way I could get my c:// windows fixed without having to backup/ format/reinstall drivers and such?

Cheers, Jim.

Quote from Jakg :Ethernet could be a BIOS issue? Ever since i updated mine the Ethernet only kicks in every 3rd boot :X

You have PCI-slots - they are the white things.

Well I trusted ebuyer and bought there saver one...hoping it will be better than the belkin crap I had.

And how come they seem to be smaller than the one with the graphix card in? Or are my eyes retarded?
Can anyone recomend a decent usb wireless adapter?

Basicly my Bellkin 54g crapadter has just packed in and I need another thing, my mum denies to wire a ethernet cable up the stairs and I deny to buy another belcrap object to connect to my router due to the ammount of problems I had with this one, Id get a pci card, but tbqh, 1) I dont know if I have a spare slot because my motherboard doesnt seem to have one (see over exposed pictures) 2) Im a lazy shit.

Im assuming since the 8600 plugs into the pci and the slots around it are smaller there not pci slots

Cheers, Jim.

P.s: Could theere be any reason why my built in ethernet port in the motherboard is never picked up? Ive tried looking for drivers and stuff but failed, theres also no sign of it in the hardware manager

Quote from Riders Motion :Screaming and pig squeals (inhaling) are part of hardcore so too bad for you!

Well ive always seen Pig squeeling and inhaling more around what I see as the Grindcore genre...but I dont listen to stuff "That brutal" (if youd like to put it hat way >_>) and interweb cant be trusted to find this stuff out

I dont mind inhaling aslong as its not like constant...but teh breebree's arent my thing

Either way, Examples: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=MFtM3fWdS_k

Imo blast beats were more of a original Grind core thing and they have thought there way slowly into the other genres, and I realise that song has at least some inhaling in ... at least alot of his lows have that sound but its not like constant so I think it suits it

More examples of music I listens to: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=qX0-BKfmYPo
http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=wKxtvgXmP0A (Im not quite sure on the genre of that, I suppose to a extent bits of it COULD be post hardcore? But I dont have a clue realy)
http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=g6aNV_xKSto
http://au.youtube.com/watch?v= ... XeOkU&feature=related (I dislike the great scene kid views on bmth <well there old album at least, not a fan of the thrashy stuff> as whether oli is a good screamer or not, I love his voice.)
http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=mZMSf3p78bQ (Im not sure on his voice tbh )
http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=JBHNiebX2Mo

And ofc I listen to different music aswell, but ohwell.

To make this post "ontopic" most of you will dislike this music


Edit: Does anyone have a clue which is going with avenged sevenfold atm? I know originaly M shadows (vocalist) was more of a deathcore vocalist but then obviously a7x went a different way than that but some of theresongs seem to be heading backwards as in some have his (horrible) screams in and even breakdowns here and there

Edit2: Au links ftw?

Quote from zeugnimod :This is actually really good until the "singers" open their mouths.

Are they so poor that they can't go to a doctor?

Its a matter of opinion


and its hard.
Im open to all music realy, and deathcore/grindcore (to a extent) melodic death metal etc is what im listening to atm.

All thoe im not a fan of inhaling...sounds like a drowning gurgling rat

Clearly, no one does or remembers doing GCSE music...Serialism is made of fail, its what happens when music becomes good in someones ears just because its so complicated to make...
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=LYAdl_A7lzo ... in its time, people payed to listen to this stuff

If someone who payed more attention in there music classes would like to describe the process of making it, please go ahead >_>

I admit, it isnt as wierd as some of the stuff in this thread...but its not nice.
