Hi guys I have a MSI Mother Boad which has a function of controling all
system fans according to system load(fans will spin faster when in
heavy cpu usage and slower when in idle state).
I bought Cooler Master's JET 7, for my processor as the default AMD
fan was not doing its job that well(processor can reach up to 70
degrees at times).
The problem now is, the cooler master's jet7 comes with 2 connectors.
One four pin connector like the power connector for harddisk and stuff
to power it but only two wires are connected (black GND, Red
+voltage)and a 3 pin connector with only one wire, which is for fan
speed detection.
My mother board can only control the speed of the fan if the power
cable is fixed to the 3 pin connector as well(as the voltage given to
the fan is controled by the mother board in the 3 pin connector) And
should not be drawing fixed voltage directly from the 4 pin connector
from the powersupply.
I want to cut the 2 wires from the 4 pin connector(black GND, red
+Voltage) and connect to the 3 pin connector solving the problem. Now I
know which wire goes where and how to do it and stuff but all i'm not
sure is, is it ok to connect the fan's power wires which from the fan's
data sheet claims to be 13.8V at max speed be connected to the 3 pin
connector,which I know from the mother boad's user guide which says
supports fans with 12V.
Any possibility it may cause any trip and damage my system since the
fan CAN draw more then 12V at MAX speed?
