Three Wires Alot Of fans, Trying to Use all of them Connector of one of them any ideas people, Habit of bitting nails nasty huh? And Front View Of it The BiG one Connector For It front and back again any ideas?

aqua-mac Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 The central two pins are -ve and the two outer ones are +5v & +12v respectively (just like a normal molex). The fan seems to run smoother if the 12 & 5 are a particular way round. This works for the 90 mm processor fans and the CD area and graphics card fans. You will want to put a zalman fanmate on the 12 v to reduce the fan speed after testing. Good Luck Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/86729-wiring-for-g5-fans/#findComment-615836 Share on other sites More sharing options...

aqua-mac Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 OK, Basically, you have 4 wires that connect the fan. If you start with the 80 mm fan that cools the pci compartment, and look at the 4 pin connector, the outside wire of the Apple fan on one side needs to connect to the yellow 12 v from a molex connector and the other outside wire connects to the red 5 v. The two central fan wires connect the 2 central black (-ve) wires from your molex connector. Try this on this fan first. The processor fans connect in the same way.

teknojunkie Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 Thanks Now I get it fits into the processor connection so is this the only fan I can connect. What fans did you get or Use Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/86729-wiring-for-g5-fans/#findComment-616240 Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqua-mac Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 No not into the processor connection, that would duff your motherboard. You will have to cut the plug off the fan and solder or fix to a molex from the power supply. I got the fans to work this way that cool the processor and the pci bay.

CZ*DarkLight Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Aqua-mac: Haha, so nice that you did not see my original-fans wiring inside Anyway, it is still loud even when I run them on 7V or 5V... I think I will switch them for the "classic" ones Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/86729-wiring-for-g5-fans/#findComment-616410 Share on other sites More sharing options...

teknojunkie Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 Thanks you guys so much im gonna try this out with my uncle and nervous chimp do u have any pics of your front panel and fans connected to your moboo No not into the processor connection, that would duff your motherboard. You will have to cut the plug off the fan and solder or fix to a molex from the power supply. I got the fans to work this way that cool the processor and the pci bay.Isn't their three wires that connect black red and yellow These are images of my mobos fan and front panel diagramso thanks aqua mac here is my diagram Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/86729-wiring-for-g5-fans/#findComment-616779 Share on other sites More sharing options...

aqua-mac Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 The two 92 mm fans that are fixed to the back of the case. I fiddled with these for some time, but they would not fire up! All the others work though. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/86729-wiring-for-g5-fans/#findComment-618071 Share on other sites More sharing options...
teknojunkie Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 Oh ok I see which ones you mean The two 92 mm fans that are fixed to the back of the case.

aqua-mac Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Oh by the way, you do not want that bit of solder shorting between the 12v and 5v (in your picture) for the way we are connecting here so leave that off and you will be fine. I did not notice it in the picture before. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/86729-wiring-for-g5-fans/#findComment-618153 Share on other sites More sharing options...

teknojunkie Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 You just use a molex connector watch go from right to left the 12v(red) connects to the first wire, the two grounds(the 2 middle cable), and the 5v (yellow) connects to the last one. You can make them quieter by spliting the 5v on one molex and the 12v's on one molex.

nervouschimp Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 you can make them quieter by separating the 5v and the 12v into its own molex No. You make them quieter by running both voltage lines on 5V 5V ground ground 5V that will quiet them down a bunch.....
