Fan Modding

[GhettoPeanut]

A while back i found an article on how to splice fan wires to add a speed control device. anyone have any articljavascript:securelink('FTVAR_MESSAGETEXTFRM');
Insert https linkes like this? I've been looking for days now and i just can't seem to find it. every time i type in fan mod, i get those stupid "mods" that are just plug and play. sorry, to me that's not modding, its lame.

anyway, any help would be great. i know its supposedly simply, just add in some sort of nob that limits electrical flow, but i don't know enough about it to want to just start doing it. any pointers in the right direction are greatly appriciated.

if i eventually come across it, I'll post it.

doh.......

ok, so just as i did this up, i did one more search, and i found it. since others might be interested in this simple and fun mod, here it is.

So anyone else have some simple and fun/useful mods they've done. i'm always looking for stuff like that.

There are lots of different ways to got about adjusting fan speed. My suggestion is to either do the 7 or 5 volt mod, or get a fanbus. I receintly bought a Sunbeam Rheobus and love it. It uses adjustable rheostats on each channel so you don't have to worry about clicking noises which often occur when using a software based fan control. It has lots of capacity so you can chain your fans together and not worry about burning it out. I paid all of $20 for it from jab-tech.com.

Just my $.02
