Title: The AAVID fan-cooler wires pinout
Post by Gemail on 17.07.05 at 13:23:19
I'm thincking of replacing the AAVID stock cooler of my Voodoo 4 4500 PCI (gift from Rolo01 - thanks again!  ;) ) with a better one (well I won't do it right now, as I'm totaly out off money, but hopefully someday sooner I might buy one Titan CUV1AB video card copper cooler). I'll want to use the connector on the card to power-up that new fan, but I don't know it's pinout and I realy, realy don't want to mess-up things. The AAVID cooler has 3 wires: red, blue and black, but I don't have a multimetter to measure each one so if anyone off you knows the pinout by colours (or by order in the card's fan connector), please share it with me.
Thank you!  :P

As I see on my cards/fans:

(1,2,3 numbers are written besides the fan connector on the board)

1 | blue wire | sensor ?
2 | black wire | ground (0 V)
3 | red wire | vcc+ (+5 V)

Blue wire is for sensor ... how should I monitor then the fan speed?
And red is for 5V only, not the usual 12V ... then I cannot power-up there a regular VGA fan since it needs 12V ... Oh well, it could have been a nice one ...

You can't monitor the fanspeed since the Voodoo 4 4500 doesn't support it ;)

I belive I also read about this monitoring support issue in a thread here before I became a member of the falconfly community
