Still, I find it difficult to believe/understand... I would need to see the schematic to make certain. It is possible, but weird. You're forgetting that we are dealing with computer components here :-) . Anything is possible.
(Can't help with a schematic but if it is of any help it is a Gigabyte PCU31-VH CPU cooler.)
Or he can stop by the thermaltake site. They have tons of these exact types of fans. Manually controlled, thermally controlled, and so on. I guess they aren't available where he lives. Personally I like them.
One of the things I liked about it was how the heatsink contact surface was prepared at the factory. It required no lapping or polishing - all this was already done at the factory. Most impressive.
Most are very quiet even when running at full speed. And I've got two 8cm fans blowing on three HD's, two more for pulling hot air from the cpus, two more above the PSU for exhaust, and two in the PSU. One of the fans in the PSU is manually controllable. The system isn't that noisy, as I can still hear the wife when she calls me for dinner.. ;-)
Well it could also mean that your wife makes a rather loud call :-) . With all those fans (plus all the other components drawing power) what do you use as the PSU? Cheers. -- This computer is environment-friendly and is running on OpenSuSE 10.1
