... But I had to tinker a bit in order to get the exchanged fan my graphics card to run. For I have the original noisy fan my elderly but perfectly functioning XFX Radeon HD5770 at an Arctic Cooling Accelero L2 plus exchanged, which has a 3-pin connector, the board of the graphics card has but like so many just a 2-pin connector. Although the Accelero has an adapter to permanently operate it with 7V or 12V, but I wanted to make him infinitely adjustable between. So I resorted to this Rotary because Amazon "in Graphics Card Fans Bestseller number 1" promotes him and left me blind to it because is not specifically addressed in the product description on. However, the connectors for case fans are thinking and do not fit with the connector of the graphics card agreement. But that would be to blame Amazon for the manufacturer and the product can not. But at least I've once again my soldering iron pick out of the closet and got the rather "flying" wired potentiometer of the non-matching plugs removed and soldered between 2 Molexsteckern that I had lying around to 12V. So I was able to close this connection between the graphics card fan adapter and can now continuously between 7V (inaudible) and 12V (barely audible) rules. Unlike the old turbine propeller with its Mini, who was sitting on the graphics card, that's really a great comfort and my HTPC is virtually no longer be heard as. Even at the lowest fan speed, the graphics card will sufficiently cool.
The star I pull off, because I am of the opinion, as it is a perfectly ordinary potentiometer, the price could be cheaper from 0.50 to 1. In addition, the wiring is very rudimentary and looks very cheap. The connector cables are zusammengezurrt only with a cable tie. One else could solve (heat shrink tubing, etc.)
