Delta 7000 rpm fan sounds like tornado, thus useless, UNLESS one can make it run slower...Possible?!?

How would one achieve that? I have one but couln't bear the noise, Bought sanyo denki for my fop38. Now I have the spare delta, naturally I want to use it. Is it at all possible to "clock" it down, maybe give less voltage?
Suggestions?

a reostat will do the trick! check out some diy sites. none come to mind at the moment.

Sorry, being swedish here. Don't know what that is and don't know the swedish equivalent...

I just slowed my FOP-32 fan by feeding it 7 volts instead of 12.

What I did was to connect the red wire (positive) to the yellow wire (+12v) from a HD power connector, and the black wire (ground) to the red wire (+5v) from a HD power connector.

HD power connector - Fan wires

Yellow ---------- Red
Black
Black
Red ------------- Black

You wont be able to get the fan speed readout, but the fan is a definetely more quiet now 🙂

yeah I bought one too. it dropped my temps 2C. but after about
30 minutes I couldn't stand it anymore. I could hear it downstairs
and my puter is upstairs! it took it off and put my other fan
back on.

Will strangle that noisy littl' thing. Such a shame not using it, will have it suck in air straight on the cpu-hsf.
The help is much appreciated...I say

a rheostat is a type of capacitor that lowers the voltage to the device it is connected to. like a dimmmer for lights. it slwos the Fan down by lowering the voltage.

How many places do you need to post this ???? This is the third exact same post - PLEASE don't DO that.
Check one of them, I replied about the baybuses I make, this may be able to solve your problem.

Same here.. I prefer my cheap but mildly quiet Sunon.. screw the Delta I just couldn't stand it and no one likes a vacuum cleaner right next to them all the time.. that thing was making me deaf..
