tacomaguy1 Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 What fans are you guys using to cool your amps/setups There's a thousand on newegg.....most are 3 wire, I assume that wouldn't matter Any 2 wire ones for even more simplicity? 120mm seems the most common Team Flex Issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacomaguy1 Posted July 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 the 3rd wire is to control the speed? So if you don't use that one will they just spin at their max rating? Team Flex Issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gckless Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 I used 8 of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835200067 They are actually 4 wire. Positive, Negative, Tachometer sense wire, and control wire. But yeah, you can just use the positive and negative and it will spin at max. That's for any case fan, I've done it a few times before.

omg_spoon Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Wire the third wire to 12v, Should spin max speed. Coolmaster 120 4pack is where its at. No need to spend 8 per fan. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103052 98 Mustang GTSinger 3202 12" Incriminator Death Penalties1 SAZ-2500dv22 D3100,1 D34002 Crescendo CZ-65SAX-100.2Door panels by Diablo Kustomz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
never knows best Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 one positive wire and two negatives... depending which ground is connected will change the speed- would also like to add that they make more noise when mounted horizontally... which sucks... dont know if they are not ment to be mounted that way or what??? any computer guys know???
