Ok,
EDIT---So here's What I wound up doing..... connected multiple fans to the same Mobo CPU fan Header....
1. figure out the 2 wire that take in voltage (12v and 5v - look up G5 fan pinouts), find the ground.- CONNECT the 2 voltage wires together. (fan will not spin unless both wires get voltage) - I tested using a 9V battery.
2. connected the 2 voltage wires to the 12v - ground to GND - and RPM wire (the forth wire from the fan) to the CPU fan header
3. set voltage control in the bois
works very well so far - total draw is 2.6A.
NOTE - if you connect more then one fan; use only one RPM wire from one fan.[/i]
so I have viewed the pinouts for the fans in the "G5 mod" posts - but am not sure thats 100% correct - or at least I am having some issues. (like the HDD fan and the PCI are PWM and are capable of speed control)
at this point I am not concerned with the connection pinouts - more so the actual wires that come out of the fan itself.
What I am hoping to get answered:
(with the fan face down and viewing the circuit board - so you can see were the wires get soldiered to the PCB) What are the wires?
I believe they are (from left to right)
Speed controll
12v
ground
Rpm
there is a 'PWM' stamp on the circuit board next to the 1st wire (which I believe is the speed control)
thanks so much for everyones help
