XILENCE COO-XPF120.TR case fan 120x25mm (Red LED) (Accessories)

Customer Review

I got myself this case fan to go with my black case with red fan preinstalled.

On Wednesday ordered, received on Monday (is of course the weekend between), so after 4 days it was there, so we perfectly fine.

I have previously read that this fan was too loud, but I also saw that there are good opportunities to get it quietly.

First to fan himself: He is in a simple package that is easy to open and includes 4 screws for installation. This fan is equipped transparently and with 4 LEDs that glow red in a beautiful, also the flow rate of air is very high, resulting in high circulation is given in the case, and my previous problem that the housing temperature was too high, is now eliminated ,

Most fans have two connections: Once a 3-pin connector, which connects the fan directly to the motherboard and a 4-pin connector that can be connected directly to the power supply.

All in all, I find that the fan has a very good price-performance ratio, so there are 4 out of 5 stars.

TIP TIP TIP ->

Both ports of the fan rotates at the same speed, but this is very loud to hear, but can be throttled by a simple little trick:

There is a link to the copy.

But I can also try to describe myself:

So for this trick we take the 4-pin connector before

1 2 3 4

So just about to plug your look, that is he, if you look from top of 4 possible connections, but only in 2 of them a "Pin" plugged, as in the picture in. 1 and 2

If you so're stuck the plug on the mating connector from the power supply, the fan runs with 12 V, since the main power connector has 4 inputs for the 4-pin plug: a yellow (12 V), 2 Black in the middle (0 V) and a red (5 V) and can be plugged in only one direction on it.

Thus, in order to slow to 7 V, so as I have, and it runs nice and quiet, you must therefore on the 12 V cable and one on the 5 V cables have a pin.
You're doing the best before you have installed the fan, and especially not during the term CALCULATOR ie: PC, power supply OFF; POWER PLUG out, but that applies to all renovation work on the computer!

For throttling you can rebuild the connector, which is on the fan off by, grabs the cable with the attached pin from slot 2 (from my image) in slot 4.

This is quite simple with a thin screwdriver, with her the hooks from the pin (which are very thin) hinbiegt to pin so you can pull out the plastic holder it out easily. If the pin is out, turn back the hooks with a fine needle again, it may pop out flutschen again in the new holder.

Yet in slot 4 Insert the pin (from my image) So finally, check whether keep the hooks, and put it on the mating connector from the power supply

PLEASE DO NOT !!! WITH VIOLENCE IN THE PIN DRAW !!!!

1 2 3 4

PLEASE DO NOT !!! WITH VIOLENCE IN THE PIN DRAW !!!!

If he should still be too loud can you pins on slot 3 and 4 Plug, ie both reposition, then the fan would run at 5V. I have not tested, it does not work with every fan, because they require a certain start-up voltage, so it may be that it does not work with 5V in this fan.
